This is the time where u have to be very alert..
I'm playing as a left back too and whenever this going to happen, I will shout "UP" so that the rest of the defenders will move forward and make him offside.

But of course it's not all the time they will be caught offside..so u always have to anticipate that he's not offside after the pass, whether he's clearly offside or not, this is the time where u need to turn around and chase him like mad cow. If he's offside, u will hear the whistle later on. If no then u just have to continue chase and pressure him.


Its not all the time that only the center back must be the one who give hint on playing offside trap. U too can do it and most important its all about understanding and communications between the defenders.
