Defending advice on a counter
Hi,
I'm not a coach but looking for advice from coaches on defending principles on a certain scenario. The red team is attacking with the winger carrying the ball inside shown with arrow direction (ball is the gray circle). There is another red team attacker open in the inside, and a blue defender after the red attacker. If I am the blue team defender shown with a star, what should I do?
Do I hold my ground and let the winger decide between passing to middle or taking a shot? Or do I go towards the attacker to challenge/intercept the ball?
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks !
