both offense and defense

defense

Answer 1

If you are trying to gain possession of the soccer ball, you are likely playing defense. However, in a broader sense, if you're trying to regain possession to start an offensive play, you could also consider it a role that encompasses both offense and defense. But primarily, the act of trying to take the ball away from the opposing team typically aligns with defensive play.
