Deserialize a JSON Object in C# from a string with multiple objects

I've been trying to deserialize a JSON file coming from a webpage, then putting it into a list. The code is as follows:

        public async Task Update() {          try{              HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("https://understat.com/league/Serie_A");              response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();              string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();              string responseParsed = Regex.Replace(responseBody, @"\\x[0-9a-fA-Z]{2}", HexConvert.DecodeHex);              string[] sub1 = responseParsed.Split(@"<script>");              string sub2 = sub1[4].Substring(33);              string teamData = sub2.Split(@"')")[0];              AllPlayers = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<Player>>(teamData);              foreach (Player p in AllPlayers) Console.WriteLine(p.Player_Name + "\n");          } catch(HttpRequestException e) {              Console.WriteLine("\nException Caught!");                 Console.WriteLine("Message :{0} ",e.Message);          }      }  

Class Player is:

    public class Player{      public string Id { get ; set; }      public string Player_Name { get; set; }      public string Games { get; set; }      public string Time { get; set; }      public string Goals { get; set; }      public string xG { get; set; }      public string Assists { get; set ; }      public string xA { get; set; }      public string Shots { get; set; }      public string Key_Passes { get; set; }      public string Yellow_Cards { get ; set; }      public string Red_Cards { get; set; }      public string Position { get; set; }      public string Team_Title { get; set; }      public string nPG { get; set; }      public string npxG { get; set; }      public string xGChain { get; set; }      public string xGBuildup { get; set; }      public int Cost { get; set; }      public int YearsOfContract { get; set; }      //public int AvgVote { get; set; }      //public Club Squad { get; set; }        [JsonConstructor]      public Player(string id, string player_name, string games, string time, string goals, string xg, string assists, string xa,       string shots, string key_passes, string yellow_cards, string red_cards, string position, string team_title, string npg, string npxg, string xgchain, string xgbuildup) {          Id = id;          Player_Name = player_name;          Games = games;          Time = time;          Goals = goals;          xG = xg;          Assists = assists;          xA = xa;          Shots = shots;          Key_Passes = key_passes;          Yellow_Cards = yellow_cards;          Red_Cards = red_cards;          Position = position;          Team_Title = team_title;          nPG = npg;          npxG = npxg;          xGChain = xgchain;          xGBuildup = xgbuildup;          Cost = cost;          YearsOfContract = yearsofcontract;      }        public int GetRenewalCost(){          return (Cost * (int)Math.Ceiling(0.3 + YearsOfContract*0.1));      }        public int GetRidCost(){          return (Cost* (int)Math.Ceiling(YearsOfContract*0.1));      }  }  

and lastly, the JSON string looks like this (forgive the picture, but it's far too long to copy and paste):

This is the JSON string

I, however, get a System.Text.Json.JsonException when deserializing. Any clue as to why? Thanks in advance, and if there is a need of further code, I'll be more than happy to add it!
