When a team 'parks the bus,' they put all players behind the ball, clog the penalty area, and focus entirely on preventing goals rather than scoring. The image is of a giant bus blocking the goal. It's often used critically—parking the bus is seen as cynical, anti-football, the opposite of 'the beautiful game.' However, it can also be pragmatic: if you're winning 1-0 against a better team, why not?

「parking the bus」是足球中的终极防守战术——几乎所有球员都退到球的后面，封堵球门。球队在保护领先优势或面对强队时会这样做。批评者认为这是反足球；务实派认为这很聪明。

«Parking the bus» es la táctica defensiva definitiva del fútbol: colocar a casi todos los jugadores detrás del balón, bloqueando la portería. Los equipos lo hacen cuando defienden una ventaja o contra un rival superior. Los críticos lo ven como antifútbol; los pragmáticos lo ven como inteligente.

「parking the bus」はサッカー究極の守備戦術——ほぼ全選手をボールの後ろに置き、ゴールを固める。リードを守る時や格上との対戦時に行う。批判者はアンチフットボールと見なし、実利主義者は賢い戦術と見る。

팀이 '버스를 주차한다(park the bus)'는 것은 모든 선수를 공 뒤에 배치하고, 페널티 지역을 꽉 채우며, 득점보다 실점 방지에만 전념하는 것을 뜻한다. 골문을 막는 거대한 버스의 이미지다. 비판적으로 사용되는 경우가 많은데—버스 주차는 비겁하고 반축구적이며, '아름다운 경기'의 정반대로 여겨진다. 하지만 실용적일 수도 있다: 더 강한 팀을 상대로 1-0으로 이기고 있다면, 안 할 이유가 있을까?
