The calls are made asynchronous, so you need to use callback functions to chain them.

        agent.post('/player').type('json').send({name:"Maradona"}).end(function(){
            agent.get('/player')
                .set("Accept", "application/json")
                .expect(200)
                .end(function(err, res) {
                    res.body.should.have.property('items').with.lengthOf(2);
                    done();
                });
        });
    });
});
