Some new phrases I've picked up this off-season in Coach-lish:
"I have a team." Translation: He has two players, three at most.
"Looking for 1-2 players." Translation: Looking for 3-4 players.
"Looking for 2-3 players." Translation: Looking for 6 players to field a team.
"Team needs a few impact players." Translation: Skills training is very important on his team, as long as it is provided by someone else.
Of course, not every soccer coach is speaking Coach-lish when they say these things, but a lot are!
