What does amague mean in argentine tango? The word itself comes from the spanish verb amagar\u00a0<\/strong>which means to feint, to fake. The same expression – feint – is\u00a0also used in football and basketball. When a player makes a move to mislead the opponent – for example when they pretend to make a move in one direction, but in fact move the other way. And this is what amague is about.<\/p>\n

Amague as a leader, amague as a follower<\/h4>\n
