On the first day of the expiration of Daichi Kamada's contract, Crystal Palace couldn't wait to officially announce the signing of the Japanese midfielder, the two sides had reached an agreement before that, and the individual contracts were all agreed, so the official announcement time was just waiting for the end of his contract, and he also became the 13th player to land in the Premier League after joining. Japanese players still playing in the Premier League include Arsenal's Kenhiro Tomiyasu, Brighton's Kaoru Mikasa and Liverpool's Endo, and almost all of them have played key roles in their respective teams.
The 27-year-old has been playing in the Bundesliga for a long time, which is also the first choice for many Japanese and Korean stars to land in the top five leagues, including Endo Airlines, who was also brought to the Premier League from the Bundesliga by Liverpool last season, and Kamada Daichi is no exception. During his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, Daichi Kamada had a long-term contract with current Crystal Palace manager Glasner and established a good relationship, and after winning the position of Crystal Palace, Glasner was also a major supporter of the signing of Daichi Kamada, and also received the club's nod.
Last season, Daichi Kamada and Eintracht Frankfurt ended their contracts and joined Lazio in Serie A as a free agent, but the two sides only signed a one-year contract, scored two goals and provided two assists in 38 appearances for Lazio, and Daichi Kamada did not get a new contract for Lazio, but waited for a call from Crystal Palace. Joining the new team as a free agent for two consecutive years is actually quite a challenge for Daichi Kamada, who is still at the peak of his career.
From the Bundesliga to Serie A to the Premier League, the strength of Daichi Kamada has also been supported and recognized by many fans, but compared with the environment of the Bundesliga, the competition and physical confrontation of the Premier League have risen to a level, especially in terms of physical confrontation, you still need to be prepared, otherwise it is difficult to play your own passing and offensive characteristics, and it is difficult to get more opportunities in the Premier League. Of course, Daichi Kamada, who has been playing in the top five leagues for many years, must still have a lot of confidence in this, and Crystal Palace also knows how to maximize his ability.
Many fans are actually very familiar with Daichi Kamada, who is the main midfielder of the Japanese national team and will be our opponent in the future World Cup qualifiers. After years of experience in the top league, Daichi Kamada will bring us a lot of threat in terms of organizing attacks in the frontcourt, as well as physical confrontation and rhythm changes, and it is difficult to be limited. On top of that, the Japanese team doesn't just have one Daichi Kamada, they have a lot of players who play in Europe, and that's the thing that makes us envious.
