Coach: What's up?
Santiago: What's up? I, I just saw the reserve list. I'm not on the team. I didn't even make the bench. I don't get it. I play where you tell me to play. I play how you tell me to play.
Coach: I didn't drop you, son. You're not at my disposal.
Santiago: What are you talking about?
Coach: You're playing with that lot. In London on Saturday.
Gavin: Santiago. What are you waiting for? Come on.
Man: OK, guys. Let's get to work. Come on.
Commentator: Newcastle scraped through with a win over Chelsea, but it won't be enough in itself. Liverpool are breathing down their necks. And to make it worse, there is a makeshift look to the Newcastle Unitedline-up today with all their injury problems, and one of their substitutes, Santiago Munez, is a completely unknown quantity. Yes. He is. Apparently he was discovered playing in Los Angeles by Glen Foy, the ex-Newcastle midfielder. He's been turning some heads with his performances in the reserves, but this is a much, much higher level. I just wonder how he will cope if he does get the nod at some point today.
妙語(yǔ)佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. Bench
在體育運(yùn)動(dòng)中，bench 指“The place where the players on a team sit when not participating in a game”，也可以指“替補(bǔ)運(yùn)動(dòng)員”，所以“讓某人做替補(bǔ)”就可以說(shuō)成 keep sb. on the bench。 例如：However, Ecuador preserved their strength for the knockout stage, keeping their two star strikers Agustin Delgado and Carlos Tenorio on the bench.
2. At someone's disposal
At someone's disposal 這里的意思“歸某人使用，供某人調(diào)遣”，這個(gè)片語(yǔ)常和put 連用，例如：They put their computer at our disposal for our entire stay.
3. Scrape through

5. Line-up

6. Turn one's head
這個(gè)片語(yǔ)的意思是“Cause to become infatuated 把某人變得昏頭昏腦/入迷”，例如：The new teacher turned all the girls' heads.
