On August 29, the roster for the Japanese team’s World Cup qualifier third round matches against China and Bahrain was announced. In this squad of 27 players, as many as 21 come from leagues overseas in Japan, with Takefusa Kubo having the highest market value at 50 million euros. Currently, the total market value of this Japanese team is close to 290 million euros.
On the other hand, the entire Chinese team’s market value is merely 11.03 million euros, with Wu Lei being the most valuable player at 1.5 million euros.
Given such a significant disparity in market values and strength between the two teams, can the Chinese team deliver a performance in their first match?
