No, you do not have to play defensive, but you should play long ball when play counter attack. When I want to play counter attack I play NORMAL (if your opponent is stronger than you - play DEFENSIVE) and LONG BALL.

You are right about pressing own half when counter attacking.

IMPORTANT - Playing COUNTER ATTACK when your opponent has defensive midfilder is not effective.
