  "account": "Tunisian footballer Sebastian Tounekti has urged his national team to adopt a stronger mentality following a disappointing match during the international break. Tounekti, who played in Tunisia's 1-1 draw against Uganda, expressed his desire for his side to win every game while on home soil. The 24-year-old winger acknowledged the new coach, Mouine Chaabani, and the ongoing adjustments required due to the recent World Cup disappointment. However, Tounekti remained resolute that the team must maintain composure and confidence during matches held within Tunisia. He emphasized the importance of unity and fearlessness on the home turf. It is noteworthy that Tounekti's comments reflect a genuine commitment to improving his team's mentality, despite some misconceptions about his character from Celtic supporters. As the Tunisian attacker gears up for upcoming fixtures, his renewed focus on mental fortitude could prove crucial in his performance at Celtic and for Tunisia's Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.",
