ATPL Theory question!

Some help please!

Question:
In autorotation the tail rotor thrust on a helicopter with anti-clockwise main rotor rotation as seen from above is:

Answer:
to the left


In a helicopter as stated above, the fuselage wants to rotate with the main rotor in autorotation. To stop this we apply lots of right pedal, surely we must be directing thrust to the right to prevent it rotating in such a way?


Thanks
