Cambiasso is a defensive midfielder. At club level he is deployed in the holding role often accompanied by another like minded central midfielder, however at international level he has most prominently featured in a more advanced position in front of a holding midfielder such as Argentine captain Javier Mascherano. This enables him to fulfill a more creative role in midfield.

Eurosport said about Cambiasso, "There is nothing glamorous about the bald Argentine, but he is the heartbeat of the Inter side that have become the dominant force in Italian football. Just the kind of determined, hard-running midfielder Jose Mourinho loves. Originally a destroyer, the 29-year-old has become increasingly adventurous and weighs in with six to eight goals per season.[3]

Goal.com said, "All in all, this player is one of the greatest players to have ever pulled an Inter shirt on and to grace the pitch in the Serie A. He is an intelligent midfielder, who has the capacity to change the shape of a game off his own boot. He is one of the most influential midfielders in Italian football, and for that reason and many more, he will certainly be remembered as one of the most talented players of all time."
