A very intelligent footballer, Kamada plays in the pocket behind the striker with great creativity. He is great at finding space between the lines and receiving the ball at his feet. Kamada is able to play in a variety of attacking positions and is excellent at using both feet. He picks up good positions and exploits the space in opposition defenses. However, he need to improve in the defensive phase.
