Kamada is the connector between Endo and the front line. Where Kubo provides individual creativity, Kamada provides structural creativity — the third-man passes and the late runs into the box. His Europa-League-winning tournament temperament is exactly the profile a Japanese side facing the Netherlands needs.
Against Tunisia and Sweden, Moriyasu’s preferred system likely pushes Kamada higher and lets him operate as a roaming No. 10. Against the Dutch, he may shift deeper to help screen Reijnders and De Jong.
Strengths
- Final-third passing into central runners
- Set-piece delivery
- Goalscoring from the No. 10 position
