Good. I found defense to be the easiest position, which is good for a relative beginner. You get to watch what all the other guys do, and your job is pretty straight forward - "if the guy wearing a different colored shirt from you has the ball, don't let him get to the goal."
Defenders generally pass to midfielders, who get it to the forwards for the goal. That's the theory anyway, but the trouble is that the other guys know that, which means they might try to stop you from passing to the mids
don't be afraid to send it to another defender.
Really though the team playing comes from practicing with your team and from your coach. There's not a whole lot that can be said on here that will help you, because there aren't really special techniques that will work 100% of the time. Soccer is a fluid game that requires the team to adapt, and you can only learn to do that by practicing with your team.
