2. Quality
Cambiasso is one of the most underrated players of his generation, as most of his hard work has been overlooked in favor of star players, but he remains a quality performer who can put in great performances week-in week-out. He has the ability to play as a box-to-box midfielder as evidenced by his performances for Argentina, while has played most of his career as a defensive midfielder for Inter. As per Squawka.com, he averages almost 5 defensive actions per game this season with 36 interceptions, 42 clearances and 3 blocks in 17 league appearances and to top that, he has an astounding 82% pass accuracy.
Even though he has been playing a defensive role in midfield, he does get forward to create chances and score goals as well. He has scored 51 goals in 414 appearances for the Nerazzuri, showcasing his ability to make runs from midfield, a quality sorely missing in United’ midfield. On top of that, he has created 31 chances for his teammates, showing his ability as a creative force from the middle third of the pitch.
