  "account": "Sam Elijah, a former Nigerian midfielder, has warned the Super Eagles against underestimating Guinea-Bissau in the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Despite having only three points, Djurtus, the hosts, are leading Group L on goals difference after a 2-0 win over Tanzania in their opening match. Elijah, a member of Nigeria's 1989 Flying Eagles, believes that even though the team celebrated their victory against Madagascar, it is crucial for the Super Eagles to reassess their approach ahead of the match. He emphasized that preparation is key and urged Coach Eric Chelle to step up both technically and tactically for the must-win encounter.",
