I'm teaching English football terminology to a Chinese boy who plays football profesionally in China but who will soon move to Europe.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what words would be important to teach him on the training side, so he can understand his new coach?
I've got the general football lingo covered it's just the more specialist training words I need.
Thanks all,
Jo.

Hi Joseph,
I might be retreading the same ground as you already but a few of the key terms I can think of to get the ball rolling%3A
- Switch, close down, mark.
All the best,

Well, a few I can think of are%3A
Control the ball, Play, Stop, Pass, Head, Run with the ball, Cross, Move, Drop, Head, Attacker, Midfielder, Defender, Goalkeeper, One Touch Passing, Shoot, Corner/free kick/penalty/Throw In,
If all else fails, then use of finger pointing and facial expressions work well.
