LEVEL
A left-sided player of above-average height with an athletic build. Shows above-average coordination and average agility. Acceleration is average, while top-end speed is above average. Versatile profile — effective both in a back four and as a wing-back in systems with three central defenders.

Actively supports attacking phases, regularly advancing into the opposition half through both ball carrying and timely occupation of space.

Despite frequent forward runs, remains disciplined defensively. In defensive transitions, recovers effectively thanks to long stride and strong top-end speed. In positional defence, can show inconsistency in positioning and marking density, occasionally misjudging passing lines and allowing runs in behind. In physical duels, she is aggressive and competitive, particularly effective in shoulder-to-shoulder situations, often operating on the edge of fouls. Composed in 1v1 defending — does not overcommit, maintains positioning and waits for the right moment to intercept or tackle, making her difficult to beat from a static position. Tackling technique is average: engages infrequently but with commitment. In aerial duels, often first to the ball, though clearances and headers tend to lack direction. Overall duel intensity is moderate.

Demonstrates above-average activity in attack, frequently progressing with the ball and creating threat through crosses into the penalty area. Involved in build-up, though not a key contributor. Progressive passing is average in both quality and volume, with a preference for forward balls down the flank.

Left-footed. Technical level is average. First touch is inconsistent, with a tendency to push the ball too far on reception. At speed, ball control improves to above-average level, particularly in open space. Rarely uses feints; beats opponents mainly through knock-and-run actions, occasionally through sharp changes of direction. Capable of operating effectively in tight spaces through close control under pressure.

Passing is average overall. Short passing is reliable and efficient. Medium-range passing is used frequently with average quality, mainly aerial balls along the flank. Long passing is rarely used. Progressive passing includes regular crosses from advanced areas and lofted balls into wide and half-space zones, though accuracy is inconsistent. Passing technique is characterised by lofted deliveries with the inside of the foot.
Displays an aggressive, competitive mentality on the pitch.
