Wow my spanish is mierda :)SingBlueSilva said:OK this is what I could suss out:
"....delantero. Tiene que bajar a la ayude. No lo tiene a nadie. Haz una pared o algo___ papa. Ultima hora, si tiene venir uno al medio. ___ aunque sea matando (y dale uno a la brazo?)"
"....forward. He has to come back to help. He has no one (or no one is marking him). Make a wall____. Someone has to come to the middle at the last minute. ____ even if you have to kill____" (lol)
I don't know if he's talking about someone in particular or tactics in general. It's all about tenses and yes the background noise doesn't help. I am not fluent but can converse, but there's also Silva's accent to contend with.
What I didn't know was earlier on, I believe Silva and Milner were talking in Spanish and English. I believe Milner did say something to Sergio in Spanish. Will listen later when I have more time.

"striker, you have to come down to help. i dont have anyone. 'make a wall' or something.. its the last chance, someone has to come into the half.. even if it kills you.."
she says
"make a wall = spanish slang for... basically blocking the opposition. it means , in football, in spanish, for two players to keep passing the ball to one another to stop the other team getting the ball"
ie sounds like he wanted sergio to drop back and knock it around in the midfield Barca style
More importantly, she also said
"he has an amazing spanish accent!!! its not a harsh dialect like it is down here - its gorgeous spanish"
Just like him, really.....:)

As I said " make a wall" in Spanish footballing parlance means "play one-twos"
