Hi Thanasis,
You need to use the Push stroke if you want to use defence. However a defender usually likes their opponent to push to them because that is what they do well.
Try to use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. This will give you the attacking position ans make it harder for the defender.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher
Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
