General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
This is a conversation between soccer team players.
The phrase means that they have to give everything to win the game. I could just put that, but I was wondering if there is a similar phrase in English, that is commonly used even by pros when interviewed!
Thanks

to pull out all the stops
Another option and it's a commonly used phrase too.

: The other two answers are reasonable, if you eliminate "in the field". One more alternative, "give it your best".

give it one hundred and ten percent on the field
This is another option. "To give it 110%" is a phrase often used in sport - even though it doesn't make a lot of sense!
Example sentence:
I wouldn't want to play for my country if I couldn't give it one hundred and ten percent.
