  "account": "Chicago Fire's talented Puso Dithejane is currently in excellent form, scoring goals left and right for the team. The 22-year-old South African has been impressing recently, netting twice in a 2-1 victory over Mexican side Cruz Azul and again in a 2-1 win against Orlando City. Dithejane credits his mentor Robert Lewandowski for his progress, noting that the former goalscorer from Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona has been helping him with finishing and positioning in the box. Dithejane says the atmosphere surrounding the team is great, and he has been training hard to make his mark. So far, Fire has won six games in a row across all competitions, and Dithejane's recent three-goal haul is a testament to his form. The young striker is determined to keep up his strong performance and secure victories for the team.",
