Key Player China

Chen Guokang is one of the players who plays in the local league, but who can generate unbalance on the flanks and could be one of the players to watch for this Saturday's game in the Americas.

March 25, 2023 10:01 PM ET

Key player New Zealand

One of the most quality elements of this team is striker Chris Wood, who plays for Nottingham in the Premier League and one of his greatest virtues is his height, which could cause havoc for these friendly games.

China: taking quality steps

China is one of the countries that always competes in any sport, but in soccer they have had a hard time being one of the protagonists and they hope that with more quotas for a World Cup they can give one of the surprises to get into the 48 best in the world.

March 25, 2023 9:41 PM ET

New Zealand: getting a good start

It is worth remembering that by opening more spaces for the next World Cup, New Zealand would no longer have to seek the playoffs and could qualify directly, which is why they will try to prepare in the best way for the qualifiers so as not to have any problems for the 2026 edition.
