Who is Sonia O’Neill, the soccer player who accused Pamela Conti, coach of the women’s Vinotinto, of abuse?

Sonia O’Neill, a member of the Venezuelan women’s team, became embroiled in an internal controversy with Vinotinto coach Pamela Conti after the footballer claimed in a statement that she had been separated from the Italian strategist during the Llanero team’s friendly matches against Uruguay to play, which led to a crossroads of statements involving former players and current selectees, such as captain Deyna Castellanos.

Who is Sonia O’Neill?

Sonia O’Neill was born in Toronto in 1994, but had the opportunity to wear the Vinotinto jersey because she has Venezuelan nationality. She has built a professional career and taken her talent to different parts of the world.

She plays as a defensive midfielder and shares the center line. She has a great ability to mark her opponents, which she has developed since her early days, being part of the ranks of clubs such as Roma in Italy, across Scottish and German football, now playing in the English second division for the London City Lionesses.

In 2021, she made her official debut as a soccer player for the Venezuelan women’s team in a friendly match against Argentina. Since then, he has appeared in most of the calls, including the 2022 Copa América, where he finished sixth in the competition with Venezuela.

What happened between Sonia O’Neill and Pamela Conti?

After the conclusion of the second friendly match between Vinotinto and Uruguay, Sonia O’Neill, who had not been called up to take part in the campaign by coach Pamela Conti, published a statement on her social networks in which she denied being injured or sick or that he made a mistake that cost him the trust of the DT.

Next, colleagues like Kika Moreno and Yerliane Moreno joined Sonia’s defense, saying they had differences with the Italian coach, who they accused of talking about them behind their back.

In this context, Conti pointed out that “there are norms and rules in the locker room” and “if you don’t respect them, there are consequences.”
