OOTL: Can someone educate me on why many players say "Allez" to cheer themselves on?

I thought it was weird Ovtcharov was saying it since he's German but after hearing players like Kumar and Omotayo today say Allez as well I am confused if it just something players say like Cho

That's quite common. I've heard players of all nationalities say allez, cho, saa, come on, let's go, vamo to cheer themselves on. You don't need to be a native speaker to use any of them.

France upsets Hong Kong 4-3
Final Game: 7-10, 10-10, 11-10, 11-13

Controversial let call on Yuan's serve at 11-12.
To be fair I think the HKG pair only called let after the point had ended.

come on Mima !!!
they struggled in game 2 and 3, but seems Mima has upped her game and game 4 was a formality

Hoping Japan can keep up like that...

edit game 5: Mima missing again a few blocks , losing to Solja spin
it really sucks now because she's had a lot of problems against Franziska sheer power.
