NYCFC Player Nicknames

thanks - added! not sure what it means exactly, so I referred to the tweet
I think they are just adding the Portuguese diminutive suffix "inho" which a fair number of soccer players have as part of their names. I believe it is being done with a blend of irony and affection -- as in he's no Ronaldinho or Coutinho but he's our "inho," or something like that..
 
"If you like Pina Coladas, well we brought one from Spain
If you´re not into long balls, then the answer is plain
If you like keeping hold of the football, you’ll be glad that he came
Yes it’s Dome that you´ve looked for, you’ll be glad that he came”
 
Valentin Castellanos - Taty
Alexander Ring - Ringleader
Added! Do these work:

  • Valentin Castellanos - Taty (previous nickname)
  • Alexander Ring - Ringleader (play on his name since he often distributes and dictates the play)

Tried looking where "Taty" came from or what it means without luck.

I would think just putting it as "called so by teammates and coach" would make more sense, since we have no idea where it came from, and the first we hear of it is Lewis and Dome saying it
