Answer 1

ok , I assume you want to change the URI from

 http://www.example.com/result.php?team=arsenal&player=ospina

to

 http://www.example/subdirectory/arsenal/ospina.html

so this is the .htaccess that will do that for you

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^team=(.*)\&player=(.*)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/subdirectory/%1/%2.html [R=301]

you can test it with htaccess tester here http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/

In your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^\.*]+)/([^\.*]+)/([^\.*]+).html$ result.php?team=$2&player=$3 [L,QSA]
