offside trap
Explanation:
The offside trap, then, consists of defenders stepping higher up the field at the right moment, leaving attackers in an offside position just before their teammates pick out a pass to them. Properly executed, the offside trap allows defenders to win the ball back without having to make so much as a tackle.

Lo de 'achique de espacios' fue un invento, a mi juicio tramposo, de Menotti para redefinir la trampa del fuera de juego. (Ya saben, adelantar la defensa coordinadamente para dejar en fuera de juego al delantero incauto).

offside trap


Explanation:
Achique de espacios
Plan de juego elaborado por César Luis Menotti, basado en la reducción de espacios, cuando entrenó al Atlético de Madrid.
http://glosarios.servidor-alicante.com/futbol/achique-de-esp...

"I shrink space through play, others shrink the field," he said, using the Spanish achicar, associated as it was with this concept of the offside trap: el achique.
https://books.google.com.co/books?id=BFPXBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT41&lp...

From his early days in coaching, Menotti always advocated attacking football over the risky business of defending deep and waiting for chances... One of his calling cards was, paradoxically enough, his most criticised trait - the offside trap.
