Hi everyone. Could you please explain what the following phrases mean? Get bodies: Ask question: Hollywood: 14 min It is the turn of United to get bodies forward and ask question of the City backline, but Mkhitaryan loses the ball a little too easily. The Red Devils' only attacking moments so far have come from counter-attacks; City looking the better side overall. 19' Pirlo tries the Hollywood pass from around 30 yards out, as he lobs the ball into Matri's path, but the Cagliari 'keeper gathers the ball easily. However, straight after Ekdal unleashes a powerful strike at Buffon, but it's deflected for a corner.
Hello Hyuna,
Thanks for the questions.
The word body is used to describe a player on the pitch so to 'get bodies forward' means to move players forward.
To ask questions is to mount an attack - the attacking side is asking questions of the defence so they are attacking, challenging, trying to break through the defence.
A Hollywood pass is a spectacular pass - a pass that is so spectacular that it belongs in a Hollywood film!
Thanks, Damian.
