Used primarily by
Goalkeepers:
<number> man
wall - said by the keeper and indicates the number of players the keeper
wants in the wall, e.g. "5 man wall". The keeper
then calls LEFT or RIGHT to line up the outside player in the wall with
the near post.
away
– when said by the keeper, means he is going to hold his line and is not
going to make a play for the ball, therefore the defenders must clear the
ball away from the goal; away is the opposite of keep
help
- the keeper is in trouble and needs help
home
- said by the keeper and means "Play the ball back to me!". The
keeper must play the ball with his feet unless the ball was headed back to
him.
keep, keep or keeper,
keeper -
"Get out of the way! It's mine!"- keeper wants the ball. Keeper
must be 100% certain that he will get to the ball first before any
attacker. Opposite of help or away.
Heard from the sidelines:
Recover
– recover back behind the ball and get into defensive shape
Stay Wide
- Yelled to wings and outside midfielders to remind them to hold their
positions and not run to the ball.
The ball has no lungs.
A Brazilian saying meaning to pass the ball to cover ground rather than
dribble or run after it. Save your energy by passing!
Unlucky
- a phrase used by soccer coaches to tell a player that he/she was doing
what they were supposed to be doing and just because the result wasn't
good that they should not change what they were doing because they were
doing it properly. For example, if a goalkeeper plays a corner kick
properly and the opponents still score the coach might yell
"unlucky" to let him know that it was not his fault.
"You're either part
of the steamroller or part of the pavement."
Soccer is not a passive sport. Players sometimes have to make ten or
twenty runs before the ball is played to them. So even if you are not
involved in the play you must be involved in the action.
