đội taxi
/ˈtæksi skwɒd//ˈtæksi skwɑːd/The term "taxi squad" in sports, particularly in baseball and soccer, originated during the 20th century as a result of travel advancements. Prior to the advent of charter planes and team buses, traveling teams relied heavily on commercial transportation, including taxicabs. In baseball, a team's roster would consist of a core group of players selected for their starting lineup and a smaller group of reserve players known as the taxi squad. These players would travel separately to the game venue using taxicabs or other shared transportation, which helped them arrive at the stadium fresh and ready to play. In soccer, the same concept applies, but the term "reserve team" is more commonly used instead of "taxi squad." However, the references to the use of taxis for reserve players are still used colloquially. Overall, the phrase "taxi squad" has evolved to represent a group of players who are ready to substitute in case of injuries, substitutions, or fatigue during matches, and are typically the last players to be cut from a team's overall roster.
