What is a Counter-Attack?

Alan Irvine and Chris Hughton discuss that in counter-attacking moments we can look to exploit both space and the numerical advantage, due to the defensive team being unbalanced in this moment of the game.

These advantages need to be exploited within a very short period of time. Some coaches believe this time period can be anywhere between 6-10 seconds - or until the opposition team has regained their defensive shape and has players behind the ball.
