Few players are born with an inborn
talent of playing well and creating goal scoring chances for the team. One such
player who was born in Argentina
and has played several matches for the Argentinian National team is Cambiasso.
Presently playing for the Greek Champions Olympiakos, Cambiasso has played in
several major leagues in the world including the Italian league and the English
Premier league. He is the only Argentinian player with most honours, even
bettering the record of his countryman Di Stefano. Cambiasso had represented
his country in the 2007 and had won the FIFA World Youth Championship in the
same year. and Copa-America in 2011.
When he was
young, he started his career with the Argentianian team Argentinos Juniors in
the year 1995. After that he moved to Real Madrid, where later on in his senior
years he would be playing as a senior player. He had joined Real Madrid as a
senior player in 2002 and played there for two years. But after his contract
expired in the year 2004 he joined Inter Milan. It is during his time span at
Inter Milan that he became a world famous midfielder. He had played 315 matches
for them scoring 41 goals and creating many assists for his teammates. In his
first season itself he had won the Coppa Italia. He had won the Seria A
competition with Inter Milan for five times. He also contributed to Inter’s
Champions League win in the year 2010 by scoring a brace along with his then
teammate Zlatan Ibrahamovic. In the year 2010, he had also won the FIFA Club World
Cup with Inter Milan.
Coming to his style of football it can be
said that he is a versatile and competitive player who has also played in the
defensive roles (besides being a midfielder) and has been consistently
performing for the teams he had played in. Therefore he is a reliable asset for
the coaches in the teams he had played in. He is an attack minded midfielder
whose forward runs have often helped his teams in distress. While playing for
Inter Milan, he was always the one midfielder whom the then coach Jose Mourinho
had given regular starts. He has always been Mourinho’s favourite during his
managerial period at Inter. Mourinho had said that Cambiasso is the “heartbeat
of” his Inter Milan team. This shows the coach’s trust on the player’s abilities.
During his stay at England while playing for Leicester
city in the 2014-2015 season, he had played 33 matches for them while scoring
five goals for them. He was so successful as a player in England that he became the Player of the Season
for Leicester in the only season he played.
Interestingly he had scored for Leicester in
the penultimate match in the league in the 2014-2015 season.
In 2015 Cambiasso had signed a deal with
Olympiakos. It was a free transfer from Leicester City Greece .
