  "account": "Jesús Owono, a 25-year-old goalkeeper, is contemplating retiring from professional football following the tragic death of his teammate, Jesús de Miguel, during a match between Tenerife and FC Andorra in Spain's second division. The incident occurred in the final minutes of the game, leading to de Miguel's cardiac arrest and subsequent death. Jesús Owono's close friend, Ana Maye, a former general coordinator of the Equatorial Guinea Football Federation, revealed the psychological strain on Owono, who has been a confidante of the player for 14 years.\n\nMaye described the goalkeeper as deeply shaken, especially when he thinks about de Miguel's widow and their one-and-a-half-year-old son. The tragedy has also affected Owono's entire family, with hostility extending beyond social media, with people calling his brother a murderer and even insulting him. Even his sister, a university student, is struggling with the situation.\n\nOwono's mother traveled to Andorra to support him, and Ana Maye criticized the media coverage, stating that it is worsening the family's suffering. The goalkeeper himself expressed the profound sorrow over the loss of his teammate in an official statement released by FC Andorra. He emphasized that he will cooperate with the proceedings surrounding the case but needs time, psychological support, and peace to process everything that has happened.",
