For the second time in three days, Albertin Montoya performed a stop sign when he was asked for National Women's Soccer League Recently opened investigations. The head coach of Bay FC is at the center of the investigation that the San Francisco Chronicle reported last week about the work environment in the club.

“At the moment it is an open review,” Montoya said early Thursday during the availability of the media. “I won't talk about it out of respect.”

Montoya almost gave the exact answer in a scrum with local media at the beginning of the week.

In response to the investigation, which is carried out by an independent third party, Brady Stewart, CEO of Bay, said the problem was the result of the communication problems. When asked about his communication process with the players in the pre -season, Montoya said: “We always touch how we can get better.”

From there, his answer immediately came to football and how the team can be better prepared in the field in his second season.

Caprice Dydasco, one of the first players acquired by Bay, said that nothing has changed in the changing room.

“Our team was always so positive, very narrow,” said Dydasco. “Our team or team dynamics really changed nothing. Our full concentration is this weekend and focuses against Utah at our season start. “

Montoya was allowed to train during the examination. This is in contrast to previous studies on Amanda Cromwell and James Clarkson. Neither Cromwell nor Clarkson have ever trained her teams again.

An NWSL spokesman in the disposition of NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman referred to the Bay FC examination last week. She did not mention the inconsistency that Montoya was allowed to train further.

Bay FC opens the regular season on Saturday in Utah. After a slow start to their expansion and debut season, they got into the top half of the league and made the playoffs, which almost bothered the mind before they lost late.

“As with every expansion team, there will be 30 girls who come from different backgrounds, different teams, different trainers. It will take time to get to know each other, ”said Dydasco about the development of the team culture of the past year. “As you saw throughout the (lead) season, we kept putting together and even getting closer together. Our team on and off the field came so close. We have the same core group of girls who come back this season. So we will only get better and stronger this season. We have big goals and I can hardly wait for us to come to the field this weekend. “
