Maybe the right team? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'team' is the definition.
(both can mean a sports team)

'maybe the right' is the wordplay.
'maybe' becomes 'sid' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'right' says to take the final letters (the letter on the right of the word).
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'sid'+'e'='SIDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "Particular aspect" , "Flank; sports team" , "Team - arrogance" , "by no means a front" , "Face - team" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
