Profiles of football players
Hi everyone! I'm translating profiles of football players for FC Porto to UK English. This one is on Jaime Magalhães. Thanks for your help!
Jaime Magalhães
O expresso das Antas
O último exemplo de uma geração transformada pela evolução táctica do futebol: Jaime Magalhães foi ***o derradeiro extremo pontiagudo do futebol das elites***, um extremo à antiga, sempre colado à linha direita, rápido, poderoso e capaz de preparar os melhores ‘cocktails’ para abastecer generosamente Jacques, Gomes, Walsh, Domingos ou Kostadinov, a fina flor do golo com quem coabitou nas Antas durante 15 épocas consecutivas.
