dodging or "moves" Explanation: Literally, gambetas = "dodging", i.e. "to skirt, to move in and out". For this text, however, you could use the even more general term "moves", which is a generic way of talking about the player's ability to move around during play. Good luck! |

dribbling feint, a.k.a. dummy Explanation: also known as "dummy" in Britain gambeta. Regate. En el fútbol. La palabra argentina deriva del italiano gamba (pierna).} http://www.elcastellano.org/miyara/dic_arg_esp.html 56 mins: Celta Vigo 1 - 2 Arsenal An absolute peach from Arsenal's Edu. Picking up the ball on the edge of the box, slightly to the left of the D, he moved it from foot to foot, took out an opppostion defender with a perfect ***dummy*** and then sent a right-footed curler into the top right-hand corner. http://football.guardian.co.uk/news/matchreport/0,9752,11551... Arsenal's No 17 weaved his way to the edge of the area, **dummied** a left-foot shot and then used his right to bend the ball in. http://sport.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/200... It’s the first movement ***“the feint”*** (a movement designed to distract) that the defender reacts to and this is used as part of a movement designed to trick/fake and send the defender to his right as you set up to go left http://www.northland-raiders.cityslide.com/board/board_topic... |
