One thing to remember, communication in soccer is kind of difficult. You don't get time-outs. You might get one water break each half in areas where it's really hot, but the team doesn't huddle or anything like that except at halftime. The exception would maybe be injuries, where you might have a few minutes to grab some water and the coach may call the team over to relay instructions. Moreover, the field is big: 100-130 yards long and 50-100 yards wide. You can't have conversations the way you would in basketball (like we sometimes saw in KNB when the point guard was bringing the ball up the court). Most verbal communications in soccer, at least in my experience, are limited to between 1-3 words yelled to other players (such as "Mine!" to claim a ball, "Man on" to denote to the ball carrier that a defender is coming, or "I go" to determine who goes to cover an opponent running with the ball.). You can have a more in depth conversation during throw ins or set pieces, where play is momentarily stopped, but even those are generally 10-15 seconds at most. Because of this, a lot of soccer is based on intuition, knowing your teammates, and reading the situation to determine where you should go next.
As a point of order, you should almost never be standing still in soccer. The rule of thumb is that you should always be moving. Forwards may get a bit of rest when their team is defending, and defenders may get a breather when their team is attacking, but the general idea is that you attack with 11 and defend with 11. If Aoi is standing still, he's likely not doing something he should be doing.
