Profiles of football players
Hi everyone! I'm translating profiles on FC Porto players. A few times the articles mention 'elevação' in the same way as in the example below. Does this refer to some sort of talent for 'high balls' (not sure what the term would be in English) or something more metaphorical? To UK English. Thanks for your help!
This text is on Rafael Falcao.
Essa dádiva permanente e inesgotável à cor que representava rivalizava com a qualidade dos seus golos, uma mistura inebriante de técnica, força, insistência e ***invulgar capacidade de elevação***, provocando a dúvida permanente: o que mais admirar, os voos assombrosos ou os artísticos golos de calcanhar?
