Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "keh" (as in "kept")/

Meaning

In soccer, the movement a player makes to break away from their marker and get open to receive a pass. Without good desmarques, even the best passes go nowhere.

Examples

His run off the ball was perfect, he arrived in the space right on time.

The team lost because nobody made runs into the box when it mattered.

Regional synonyms

A man who brags about being dominant, confident, and superior to everyone around him. The alpha male concept borrowed from discredited wolf pack research and was supercharged by internet bro culture. The irony, as the Spanish definition points out, is that the guys who shout "alpha" the loudest are usually the most insecure in real life.
