The most expensive player of the Japanese team
(Baonghean.vn) - With a price tag of 25 million euros, midfielder No. 7 Daichi Kamada of the Japanese national team will be the most expensive player among the 22 players on the field. This attacking midfielder is even among the most expensive players in Asia at this time.
The 1996-born midfielder who is playing for E.Frankfurt (Bundesliga) has a very bright resume. Daichi Kamada is 1.84m tall, weighs 76kg, can play with both feet, although he is right-footed. His aerial ability and energetic playing style are unquestionable.
Having been in the Bundesliga for 4 seasons in the E.Frankfurt shirt and playing for Sint-Truiden (Belgian championship) for 2 years, Daichi Kamada must not only be technically skilled but also strong in ball disputes. The most noticeable thing is that this number 9 handles the ball very simply, with few unnecessary movements, this is exactly whatHoang Ducneed to learn

Up to now, playing in one of the top 5 European football leagues has been the dream of all Asian players, but Daichi Kamada was also chosen by coach O.Glasner.used to compete in UEFA Europa. More specifically, after 3 matches, he scored 1 goal against O.Lympiakos in a 3-1 victory, a great honor for him personally and Japanese football. In the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the midfielder worth 25 million euros played 8 matches and scored 3 goals.
Previously, his double against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in E.Frankfurt's shirt in 2019 caused coach Unai Emery to be fired. Currently on the German pitch, he and Shinji Kagawa, the once-famous hero of MU, Dortmund are considered to have left the most outstanding impressions. All the above information only says one thing, Daichi Kamada is very worthy of the current market price.
Talking about Daichi Kamada's performance, a colleague of ours wrote for Japantimes that the Japanese team is paying the price for using too much energy too early in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, allowing opponents to study and predict their moves. In the Japanese team's jersey, this number 9 plays as an attacking midfielder, behind striker number 15 Osaka in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a tendency to play on the right wing. This is the position that after Van Hau retired, Mr. Park has not found a suitable player, and has been exploited by opponents.

The most expensive star of the Japanese team played the first 3 matches without scoring, so coach Hajime Moriyasu left him on the bench for the match against Australia. Coach Hajime Moriyasu switched to a 4-3-3 formation and sent young player Tanaka onto the field to find a way to win.
This change in personnel had a positive turn when they won Australia, the strongest opponent of Group B with a score of 2-1. It is worth mentioning that when the score was 1-1 when winger Minamino (10) was withdrawn from the field, Mr. Hajime Moriyasu sent Asano (18) into the field instead of Daichi Kamada. In the match against Australia, the Japanese team played more on the wing than usual, it seemed that Mr. Hajime Moriyasu wanted to approach the match in a different direction when the duo Osaka and Daichi Kamada tended to step on each other's toes.
So even though he is the most expensive player in the Japanese team, it is not certain that Daichi Kamada will be in the starting lineup against Vietnam. This also shows that Japan has too many excellent players and Que Ngoc Hai will have a tough match. In my opinion, if there is an early goal, the Vietnamese audience will have the opportunity to see the moves of this expensive player with their own eyes. To stop him, Hoang Duc and his teammates must be faster in ball-fighting situations.
