What do you think about?..
Please read this text!
A coach addressed his assistant. He said: “John, Mike’s brother as far as I know played football very well. What’s happened?!” A bald man, who was the best player of the team several years ago, answered: “Two month ago in the end of March he broke his leg, and now he can’t play well, I suppose he is not in good shape”. “And how about the other player?..” a coach asked. “Give me the list of the team. Right there are Nick, Alex his brother, Ted, and Tom. I think we will be able to win in this match”.

Ошибок почти нету, но я не понял смысла текста.
Так что, я ответил бы на третьий вопрос "да, трудно читать".

Not bad text. Easy to read. Most people would understand the meaning.
A few suggestions...
A coach, addressing his assistant said, “Mike’s brother John, as far as I know played football very well. What’s happened?!”
His assistant, a bald man sitting and listening, who had been the best player of the team several years previous, answered, “Two months ago in the end of March John broke his leg, and now he can’t play well. I suppose he is not in good shape."
The coach then asked, “And how about the other players? Give me the list of the team."
The assistant answered, "Right!... there are Nick, Alex his brother, Ted, and Tom. I think we will be able to win this match”.
This may be the version you want. Irish/British/Aussie English I think. Many Americans would say it a little differently... but it is good, clear English.
