  "account": "Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel believes young players should take inspiration from Aden McCarthy's journey. McCarthy, the son of former Chiefs legend Fabian McCarthy, progressed through the club's development system and has now signed for Azerbaijan side Sabah FK after a brilliant 2025/26 season. Miguel praised McCarthy's focus, work ethic, and humility, noting that the 22-year-old was determined to improve and advance his career. McCarthy's father, Fabian, also played a crucial role in his son's development, providing a solid foundation. Miguel highlighted the importance of mental strength and dedication in the transition from the youth setup to the first team, and commended Chiefs for successfully nurturing young talent through the DDC and first team.",
