No, that was not what I said at all! I meant that combined with other instructions you may increase the risk of getting countered. For instance if you have short passes, high tempo and cautious mentality and the only attacking outlet on your team involves risky passes to your attackers. In that scenario your defenders will just pass it amongst themselves increasing the risk of someone eventually making a mistake. When that mistake happen you will get countered. That mistake may well lead to a ball over the top because the defence push higher up when you have the ball.
Think Man Utd under Van Gaal. That team got countered a lot because all they did was pass the ball sideways all day long.
