After a tough 1-0 defeat in the Women’s Copa América against Argentina that snatches the chances of Venezuela to access the World Cup directly, the national team manager, Pamela Conti, assumed responsibilities and responded directly to the journalists.
ðŸ—£ï¸ “Let them attack me, but don’t touch my players, especially the Venezuelans.”
ðŸ—£ï¸ “These players need the Venezuelans to help them.”

In statements, the Italian coach began by showing her anger with those people who attacked her soccer players. “I am much more upset because I do not like that if we lose we are bad, that it is a failure. That they attack me,” she said, assuming all responsibility.
“Venezuelans go up when we win, but when we lose and these players need the Venezuelans to help them, they speak ill of them.” Pamela Conti pleads the main culprit for what happened on the penultimate date of the group stage and she defended her players while she asked them not to touch them.
