  "account": "On 19 May, Steve Clarke gathered his players in anticipation of a World Cup journey. However, Kieron Bowie, a prolific striker for Hellas Verona, was not selected. Clarke's loyalty to his previous players seemed to have overlooked Bowie's past performance. Despite scoring goals for Verona, Bowie expressed contentment with his current situation and focused on personal time with family and a golf holiday in Portugal. In a recent match against North Macedonia, Bowie started with Oli McBurnie in an ultra-attacking formation set by new manager Sebastien Pocognoli. Bowie's performance included the most shots on target, most shots in the box, and the most touches in the opposition box. He described the experience of scoring a goal for his country as an \"unbelievable feeling.\" Pocognoli aims to implement a new system and mindset, focusing on the development of new players. Bowie expressed optimism about his new opportunities and the potential for growth under the new management.",
