Kelley O’Hara is a defender.
I’ve been told countless times that she is a converted defender and sure if you want to label her like that, go ahead. But in the year 2019 she is a defender plus or minus a modifier on the front. That still makes her a defender.
And in this World Cup, she has delivered on that label.
No, she is not everyone’s idea of what a right back should be. She still drives forward and gets involved in the attack in a way that realizes on her speed to make up for it when the other team gets the ball.
