+1⃣ in the backline is the standard option. Possibility to push Martinez higher (to CM), Bruno to DM and Hojlund to CB/GK

Pendulum press to leave option open and invite into trap

📐Middle of red triangle (HYBRID): shortest distance to everyone + free player in transition!

For clarity: the elbow technique

Lock both elbows over the arms of the defender, and push down with your weight on either of the sides where you want to roll the defender

3⃣ Details make a difference

Defender gets his leg in front of Rasmus' right leg and thereby fouls him.

Arm is over Højlund's shoulder and he is fouled.

Elbow technique = defender can only pull the shirt
Leg placement = Rasmus has rolled him

2⃣

Defender's arm is not locked (elbow technique)

Right leg could be used as a screen here (already stepping towards the ball) to prevent a touch

Defender is rolled, but still has a chance because Højlund doesn't create the barrier

1⃣

Side-on orientation with the arm OVER the opponent's arm

Balance leaning slightly too much into opponent (shoulders should be above feet, knees low).

In this situation, Højlund should LOCK his elbow over the opponent's arm and then PUSH down to ROLL the defender.
