Von Kleeck brings speed, explosiveness, and a nonstop attacking mentality to the midfield. She is especially dangerous when she gets downhill, carrying her momentum directly into her shot and releasing on the run without losing accuracy or control. She can finish with either hand, change her release point under pressure, and use convincing fakes to keep goalies guessing. Her spin dodge is quick and deceptive, and her shiftiness makes her difficult to contain once she builds speed. Von Kleeck is equally effective away from the ball, reading developing plays and timing her cuts to arrive in scoring areas at the right moment. She pushes the pace in transition, can create for teammates with quick feeds, and plays with an energy that consistently puts pressure on a defense. She is a dynamic, well rounded midfielder with the tools to impact the game in several different ways.
