Bulgarian term or phrase: обиграват
I'm trying to get the gist of an article in Bulgarian, using only my knowledge of Russian. Can understand most of it, but could anyone help me with the following section? Many thanks in advance...

За последно специалистът бе помощник на Пламен Марков, а онзи ден разтрогна с «червените” по взаимно съгласие. «Собственикът на Каунас г-н Романов ме потърси лично и разговаряхме по телефона. Изпратих документите си и явно са ги одобрили”, заяви Червенков. - Пътувам за Литва днес, а утре ще гледам Вилнюс - Каунас. След това се надявам да подпиша договор. Знам, че доста играчи от Хартс се обиграват в клуба, такова е настояването на собственика Романов”

Explanation:
I'd rather use this. I've heard it many times and you may find plenty of google hits.

Jose Mourinho will have first option to sign LA Galaxy players and will allow young Chelsea players out on loan to ***gain experience*** in Major League Soccer.

The need to ***gain experience*** versus better class opposition is an important part of the learning curve.

It was part of the main decisions we've been doing - giving the opportunity for young players to play, giving the opportunity for them to learn the game and ***gain experience***, to mature.

"are honing their skills"


Explanation:
In my opinion "to gain experience" is improper. They are experienced footballers.



Example sentence(s):
  • State University football team enters the final week of spring practice trying to avoid injuries while still honing their skills for the 2007 season.
