The context is football (soccer).

He is an incredibly explosive player. Which footwear gives him enough traction to fly at defenders?

Spanish translation:volar/salir disparando/ escapar de las defensas // dejar atrás a las defensas
Explanation:
Depende del registro. No creo que sea 'volar sobre las defensas' porque si habla de 'defenders' el que hace la acción es el atacanta, o sea que la acción sería eludir y escapar con velocidad, según yo lo entiendo.
