I agree. Moving from Eintracht Frankfurt to Valencia is just a minor upgrade, and they are a club suffering from mismanagement for the last two decades. As I said before, it is better for Kamada to stay at least one more season at Frankfurt.
Kamada came in as second half sub against PSV Eindhoven, scored Frankfurt's opening goal from a lovely solo-effort, to help Frankfurt to a 1-2 win against PSV. His goal: 1297221782211039234 is not a valid tweet id
Kamada renewed his contract until June 2023: https://profis.eintracht.de/news/detail/?id=record-127679-de
Kamada scored a goal and created the chance from which Eintracht scored the winner after he dribbled past 3 players and passed the ball to Silva, whose initial attempt on goal was blocked, only for Silva to pass the ball to Dost for an easy tap-in. Hasebe played the full match, while Kamada was subbed out in the last few minutes in a defensive substitution, as both helped Frankfurt to come from a 0-1 behind in the first half, to a 2-1 win in full time against Hoffenheim who defeated Bayern Munich 4-1 last week.
Assist today, in a 1-1 draw against Cologne. He was very good, missed one very good Chance when he misshit the Ball. Hast one good shoot, another dangerous freekick and could have had 3 another assists easily but his teamates wasted every oportunity. With a little more luck today, it would have been 1 Goal, and 3-4 assists and another 3 Points. But 1-1 and 1 assist is also okay, he has now 4 games and 4 scorerpoints (1 Goal and 3 assists). Very good start for him ! Hasebe of course played 90 minutes and was very good like usual. The German comentator, praised Kamada and Hasebe as "outstanding" Players.
It was not an assist. Kamada earned the penalty from which Eintracht Frankfurt scored their only goal today.
A earned Penalty ist counted official as an assit and I watched the game. Even a earned freekick when he goes into the Goal.
Daichi Kamada are joint-top in the 2020-2021 German Bundesliga Shot-Creating Actions (SCA) alongside Thomas Muller: Daichi Kamada (22) Thomas Müller (22) Dani Olmo (21) Giovanni Reyna (19) Jonas Hofmann (18) Joshua Kimmich (16) Matheus Cunha (16) Angeliño (15) Gonzalo Castro (14) https://fbref.com/en/comps/20/gca/Bundesliga-Stats
Kamada assisted the equalizer last week. 1 goal and 4 assists in 6 league games, according to transfermarkt. Btw, is he really only 180cm? Looks around 185cm.
Two assists by Kamada in a 3-3 at Union Berlin. Hasebe has been on bench for the second consecutive match now.
I agree that he seems taller than what he's listed as. Though I do think his skinny figure adds to his lanky vibe.
Kamada scores a well-taken goal against Borussia Dortmund, as Eintracht Frankfurt are 1-0 up midway through the first half. 2 goals and 5 assists so far in 10 Bundesliga matches.
It's widely known by Japanese fans that he has under-reported his height strangely enough. Kicker lists him as 184cm.
I think it is a case of not updating it, there are players who listed their height early and then even when they grow taller, they did not update it.
First start for Hasebe after four matches on bench (none of which Eintracht managed to win), got an early yellow. Now at half time Eintracht is up 3-1 against M'gladbach! Kamada is rested on bench for the first time in an official match since a yellow card suspension back in June(! so last season).
Match ended in yet another draw... Hasebe played the whole match but couldn't defend against Stindl's header to the equalizer in 90+5 min. Kamada joined in 90+2 min. Abraham saw a second yellow in 81 min so I expect Hasebe to start and captain the next match.
Kamada played 76 min, Hasebe the whole match. Both missed great chances in front of the goal. A cross by Kamada led to the decisive own goal in the 2-1 win against Leverkusen.
Hasebe started the attack in both goals, with a tidy job in collecting and distributing the ball in the midfield.
