If you are not playing with Force Counter Attacks or with offside trap that does not means that your team will never counter attack or play offside trap...

Playing with Counter Attack means that you are deliberately trying or forcing your team to create a Counter Attack by losing ball possession so that your opponent can attack you and when they are in your half you can Counter Attack them...That's why Forcing your team to play Counter Attack works well with Defensive formation and when you have less possession......
