The German word "Steilvorlage" is a compound noun made up of:
- steil — steep
- Vorlage — pass (in sports), template, or model
Meaning:
Originally a sports term (especially in football/soccer), a Steilvorlage is a precise pass played forward into open space, enabling a teammate to attack easily—figuratively a "perfect setup" or "clear scoring opportunity".
Similar words:
- Vorlage (pass, assist)
- Pass (pass)
- Assist (assist)
Difference:
Steilvorlage specifically emphasizes a steep or incisive forward pass that quickly sets up a scoring chance, while the others are more general terms for passing or assisting.
