Ten, Leon Bailey (Jamaica)

When it comes to the country of Jamaica, I believe that many people in the field of sports think of them is good at track and field sprinters.

In soccer, Jamaicans are actually quite concerned about the sport, the strength of the national team in North and Central America and the Caribbean is quite good, history in 1998 to kill a World Cup, when a win was 2:1 win over Japan.

As Jamaica's most successful player at the moment, Leon Bailey, 25, plays for English Premier League club Aston Villa, with one goal and two assists in 18 games this season, and he can play both left-wing and midfield.

IX. Jesús Corona (Mexico)

As a strong team in North and Central America, Mexico's soccer talent pool in any era is remarkable, quality players from generation to generation, currently playing for Sevilla in La Liga, 30-year-old star Jesus Corona, naturally, is one of them can not be omitted.

Looking back at his career history, he started out in Monterrey, Mexico, and has played in the Dutch Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League for Porto, where he can play as a winger and a wingback. At Porto, he spent the best part of seven years. In this season, he moved to Sevilla in La Liga and played 18 games this season, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists.

VIII. Giovanni Reina (USA)

There is no doubt about Dott's ability to discover demonic players, and after Pulisic, they have managed to bring out another young American star in recent years. As an attacking midfielder, Giovanni Reina came from the Hornets' youth system and started to attract attention in the 19-20 season, and last season he occupied the starting position for Dortmund for a long time. Considering that he is under 20 years old, he has a bright future.

Seven, Raul Jimenez (Mexico)

Raul Jimenez, 32 years old, plays as a center forward for Wolves in the English Premier League. As a tall pillar winger, Raul Jimenez can be said to be a quality player with more strength than fame, with a certain attainment in individual shooting, as well as a good ability to do the ball as a pivot.

At his peak two or three years ago, he had a 17-goal, 6-assist Premier League season with Wolves, and his performance in European matches that year was also impressive to fans. After turning 30, Raul Jimenez's form has declined a bit, but last season in the Premier League, he had 34 games with 6 goals and 4 assists. For the national team, he is still a reliable attacking hammer for the Mexican national team, scoring 3 goals in 9 games in this year's World Qualifying Tournament.

Six: Irvin Lozano (Mexico)

Irvin Lozano, 27 years old, as a winger, the head of the Mexican national team since the past few years time, started in the youth system of Mexican giants Pachuca, and then played in the Dutch League Eindhoven demon level performance, 17 goals and 8 assists for two consecutive seasons.

He has been playing for FC Napoli since 2019. Last season, Irvin Lozano appeared in 30 games, contributing 5 goals and 5 assists. It can be said that Irvin Lozano is quite a player with Mexican flavor, good foot skills, small and fast, and a little less physical confrontation. The more unfortunate thing is that, although his Serie A performance is not bad, but compared to when everyone was interested in him when he became famous in the Netherlands, the height of growth perhaps did not reach the initial media expectations.

V. Weston McKenney (USA)

Weston McKenney, a 24-year-old player from the United States, is a versatile player in front of the net who can play multiple positions. He started his career at FC Schalke 04 and joined Juventus in Serie A in 2021, scoring 3 goals in 21 appearances last season, making him an important player for Juve. For the national team, Weston McKennie is one of the top young core players in the United States, scoring 2 goals in 7 games in the 2022 World Championship.

Jonathan David, a 22-year-old winger, is currently playing for Lille in Ligue 1, where he started to emerge the year before and helped Lille to win the Ligue 1 title against Paris. In the season just ended, he has grown to a level of 15 goals in 38 games in Ligue 1. In the course of the 2022 World Cup, Jonathan David has played 18 games and scored 9 goals. In the next World Cup, I believe many potential new owners of the continental powerhouse will take a serious look at Jonathan David's performance.

III. Sergio Dest (USA)

Sergio Dest, 22 years old, comes from Ajax youth training and currently plays for Barcelona in La Liga as a wingback. Born and raised in the Netherlands to a Dutch mother and an American father, Dexter has chosen to play for a less powerful overall U.S. team and has become one of the representatives of the new generation of American players in the past few years.

In the summer of 2020, the young Dexter was courted by both Bayern Munich and Barcelona, but the player himself preferred Barcelona, so he chose to develop in Catalonia. Last season, Dexter played a total of 26 games for Barcelona, contributing 3 assists. Being able to play for a team at this level speaks volumes about Dexter's strength and potential. In the national team, Sergio Dest is naturally one of the face of the United States team, which is dominated by raw talent at this stage.

II. Christian Pulisic (USA)

Christian Pulisic, a 24-year-old Croatian-American, plays as a winger for Chelsea in the English Premier League and is the representative of the United States team. This season, he has played 28 matches for Chelsea, contributing 8 goals and 2 assists; for the national team, he is the most threatening presence for the U.S. team, with 5 goals in 10 matches in this year's World Qualifying Tournament.

I. Alphonso Davies (Canada)

Alfonso Davies, 22 years old, is the main left back of Bayern Munich and the ace of Canadian national team, and is currently estimated to be worth more than 7,000 euros in the transfer market.

As a strong and tall wing back, he has a high level of impact and confrontational attributes, but also has the agility to block the opponent's side of the field. In the 2022 World Cup, as a wing back, he is a good attacker and defender, representing Canada in 13 games and contributed as many as 5 goals, is Canada's return to the World Cup after 36 years of the number one contributor.
