Polish term or phrase: rozegranie piłki w ataku w piłce nożnej
Nie wiem, czy jest potrzebne bliższe podanie kontekstu. Potrzebuję tłumaczenia dokładnie tego terminu. Chodzi o rozpoczęcie gry przez piłkarza, który dostał piłkę i teraz ma ją "rozegrać", czyli rozpocząć jakąś akcję w ataku.

English translation:play the ball
Explanation:

You will find several options for this, each one suitable for a slightly different context. These options will not necessarily use the word ‘ball’. ‘Start the attack’ (not initiate) and ‘build the attack’ are definitely in use.

Listen to Marcin Wasilewski, who says ‘staram się rozegrać piłkę od tyłu’ at 1:07:

Or look at this (‘play the ball to the right’):

and this (at 52 minutes: ‘they play the ball to the left wing. It’s cut back ...’):

You can build from the back.

You can play the ball around, or knock it around.

distributing the ball in football attackl/ go on attack by first distributing the ball


Explanation:
Distribute is better than the rest of the sentence

Example sentence(s):
  • Distribute - Goalkeepers "distribute" the ball by kicking, punting or throwing it.

agree  Gwidon Naskrent: might do, although it's not only goalkeepers who are meant in the orig. sentence

  -> True. I was thinking of someone like Zinadine Zidane, who engineers attacks by seeing the total field and making intelligent choices. This is what rozegrać means to me.

agree  George BuLah (X): I rely on representative from Europe, especially UK - the birthplace of football :) || Charlton, Moore, Keegan, Lineker ... to name a few :)) ... eh, history :)

  -> Thanks. We even won the World Cup once, not all that long ago either, and my misfortune is that I'm too young to remember it. And I have a friend who remembers watching the entire match live on TV, right here in Poland.
agree  petrolhead: Glenn Hoddle. Having said that, "play the ball" needs to be qualified if one is specifically talking about build-up play in attack.

to get the [foot]ball moving in offence/attack


Explanation:
Transitioning to Offense:

Your team has won possession of the ball. It should already know what the opponent wants, i.e. see comments above. Your goal is to get the ball moving towards the opponent's goal as quickly as possible, before the other team has done its job of marking and closing down options. In this transition, your players also need to react quickly, perceive where the spaces and opponents movements are, anticipate plays and make the runs and passes quickly. This requires technical accuracy (passing in particular), physical speed and mental speed. - http://www.football-coach.net/transition-play.html

-----------

One general strategy of offensive play that all soccer players should employ is Passing and Moving. This means that you should never just stand still on offense. Whenever a player has the ball, they need to either pass the ball or dribble. Just standing still is a sure way to lose possession. This also applies to any offensive player near the player with the ball. They should always be moving and looking for an opening and providing passing lanes for their teammate.

Another good strategy is to pass the ball and then move quickly to another open space closer to the goal. By continuing to move and create passing lanes, the defense can be put at a disadvantage. - http://www.ducksters.com/sports/soccerstrategy.php

------------

They exchange passes and dribble (move the ball along the ground with their feet) in crisscrossing patterns; they fake shots to draw defenders out of position; and they shoot when open. Forwards also drop back to break up the opposing team's attacks - http://www.qasoccer.org/doclib/BasicsforParents1.htm

Passing is the primary way to move the ball in attack.
