é o que se espera quando não combina com o goleiro that's what you get when things are poorly arranged Explanation: After your explanation in the discussion, I got the idea. I believe this is a reference to a soccer/football situation: sometimes the players pass the ball back to the goalie. However, if the player and the goalie do not work well together, this kind of pass is somewhat dangerous, since the opponents may steal the ball and get in a very good position to score. Summing up, the goalie and their teammates should be well trained and know what to expect from one another. They should not try to improvise, let's say. I think that's the point there. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2016-12-29 00:24:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I forgot to mention - I think you understood it correctly and I liked your idea of using "not in sync" too. |
