Lisa De Vanna has a lot to say. Just 20 minutes speaking with the Australian all-time top female goalscorer will tell you that.

She talks about playing with the boys on the streets of her Perth neighbourhood from the age of six, earning their respect because "I didn't take s***". She gushes about her close friendship with former teammate and American hall of famer Abby Wambach and what she learnt from her about leadership. She reminisces about returning to a petrol station job after scoring four goals at her first World Cup in 2007, she talks about what influenced her latest club move to Serie A's Fiorentina and even says she is keen to write all of it down in an autobiography.

What she will not discuss, though, is her feud with Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro. Well, not quite. In her first match for Fiorentina earlier this month, De Vanna came up against her former coach of three years, who she won the Australian top tier title with at Melbourne City, but insists she made sure to have no contact with him during the 4-0 loss to the English champions.

Last year De Vanna retweeted a video of Montemurro describing the progress in the Australian women's top tier. She captioned it, "Truth. Will. Always. Win. Unfortunately liars get their turn first," along with a few pointedly-placed snake emojis.
