Deyna Castellanos sent a strong message to Sonia O’Neill after the player herself made allegations on her social networks. The Vinotinto Femenina captain did not hesitate to respond to the current London City Lionesses footballer, who allegedly did not play in the game against Uruguay because the coach Pamela Conti did not want her in the team. What did he say to you at a press conference?

“That’s the only thing we’re going to talk about. I am not aware of what Sonia could and could not say.. She is an adult and if she made the decision to make these statements, we will have to see what happened. I’m proud of the team we have. We are 23 players, but in this case we are 22 (laughs slightly). “I’m proud of the results, we finished both games (with Uruguay) very well on this FIFA date,” Castellanos said after being asked about O’Neill’s statement at a press conference.
The Manchester City footballer, who wanted to answer the question in front of her own coach, pointed out that the squad had been reduced to a group of 22 players after O’Neill was sidelined for the second friendly.

Vinotinto Femenina: Why didn’t Sonia O’Neill play against Uruguay?
O’Neill was there for the first friendly against the East team. However, the player was not on the substitutes’ bench for the second leg on Monday, September 25th. Were you injured or was it a technical decision?
“I am neither injured nor ill nor have I done anything serious.. During our free time, I asked the coordinator for permission to go to the bench next to our hotel and due to misunderstanding, the trainer (Pamela Conti) said that we didn’t have permission to go there. For this reason, some players were not on the field against Uruguay. The coach will lie about it after the game and use this lie as an excuse not to call me up for the national team again. “He mentioned it to a few players and never told me to my face that he had wanted to do it for a long time,” O’neill said.

However, the midfielder also reported that Conti had made inappropriate comments about her. “She talks shit about me as a person to other players and then she says good things to you… I kept a lot of things to myself for months and I’m tired. I know some players will support them.” “They have no choice if they want to continue playing in our country,” he said.

However, to further aggravate the situation, Lourdes “Kika” Moreno and Yerliane Moreno also reported alleged abuse from the coach of the Vinotinto team on her social networks.
