poor translation - <player> wyprowadza zespół w pole

Actually it's written from Chelsea's POV, hence the "Premier League: Chelsea: ..." - the article title is "quoting" Chelsea.
Although I admit that translation isn't the best.

If we would have to keep to that format maybe a change to "[Manager] wyprowadził Chelsea w pole" or "Chelsea: [Manager] wyprowadził nas w pole".

If a new translation could be used I'd propose something among the lines of "Premier League: [Manager] triumfuje nad Chelsea" - yes, it's simpler but get the point across much better, as it the emphasis is on the "Manager vs team" which hints at the narrative. Alternatively, if something more lively is needed insteaf of "triumfuje" some other verbs can be used: "odpłaca się", "odgryza się", "przechytrza", "mści się" or "uciera nosa".

Truthfully, "gets one over on" is practically untranslatable, in reality press would come up with some catchy wordplay.

this is the text, do you want to edit it for me please?

 

[%male#1-surname] gets one over on [%team#2-short]

[%team#2-short]: [%male#1-surname] wyprowadza zespół w pole

"Chelsea: [Manager] wyprowadził nas w pole" is also bad. "Wyprowadził kogoś o w pole" suggests that Chelsea's guide or leader misguided them. It doesn't make sense if person who "wyprowadza ich w pole" is not their trusted friend or part of their group.

 

I propose to use some of those (inspired by Sopel): 

"[Manager] triumfuje nad Chelsea"
"[Manager or former player] uciera nosa Chelsea"
"[Former player]  mści się na Chelsea"
"[Former player] odpłaca się Chelsea"

My suggestions:
 

[%team#2-short]: [%male#1-surname] odpłaca się byłemu zespołowi (literally it means: [team] [surname] pay backs his former team)

[%team#2-short]: [%male#1-surname] mści się na byłym zespole (literally it means: [team] [surname] takes revenge on his former team)

Can we have a vote :-)

I'll throw in some of my suggestions:

[%male#1-surname] uciera nosa [%team#2-short]   -> "[Manager] rubs it in the [club's] face" - contains a phrasal verb, can be interpreted both negatively and positively, serving all player stories - can be taken as a revenge or as a playful getting one over

[%male#1-surname] odpłaca się [%team#2-short]   -> "[Manager] pays back [club]" - effectively translates 1:1 to english, lacks a bit in the eventual "playful" angle

[%male#1-surname] triumfuje nad [%team#2-short]   -> "[Manager] triumphs over [club]" - tonally neutral and lacks emotion, high possibility it's already used elsewhere in the translation

From previously mentioned suggestions - "mści się" ("takes revenge on") and "odgryza się" ("bites back") might be too harsh for this press item.

"Nie których" - sholud be "Niektórych".

 

As for the discussion above: definitely "wyprowadza zespół w pole" is not appropriate.
I would lean toward "uciera nosa", or "odgryza się".
