Considering sports article preview

I see the user posted a headline in Chinese regarding the AFCON tournament, translating to [[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot;AFCON preview: Mali set lofty goals this tournament, Zambia faces head coach eligibility crisis.[[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot; They might want an article preview or analysis, but I need to clarify their request first. Should I summarize, write a detailed preview, or provide betting odds? I could propose an analysis that includes team form, key players, tactics, injuries, and more. It’s crucial to ask about the timeframe or any constraints. Let's provide a concise option here!Clarifying AFCON article request

I need to remember that my knowledge is up until October 2024, so any information about the 2025 situation, like the Zambia coach license crisis, might be outdated. It’s better to ask for the specific date and which tournament edition this is about. I can also propose writing a generic preview structure and request current details for accuracy. I'd like to ask if they want an in-depth 600-800 word analysis with sections covering various aspects, including key players and predictions. Finally, I should check if they want betting tips.Drafting article preview

I see the user provided a headline, which likely means they want an article with that theme. I can create a ready-to-publish preview piece in Chinese, which would streamline the process and avoid back-and-forth communication. However, I need to be cautious about factual accuracy—so I’ll frame it as a template with placeholders. I can keep the content general, avoiding specific claims about the coach’s licenses. It might be safer to discuss the situation in general terms. I'll also highlight Mali's talented players without committing to exact details about the coaching situation.Drafting content for preview article

I'm unsure about the current situation, but for Zambia, I recall that Coach Avram Grant led the team to a disappointing AFCON 2023 group stage exit. The eligibility crisis might relate to his CAF license, as he holds a UEFA Pro license, while CAF may require a CAF A license. To avoid inaccuracies, I’ll keep the phrasing generic. I plan to write a Chinese preview with approximately 600-800 characters, covering Mali's ambitions and Zambia's coaching saga. I’ll include a key matchup, trends, and a predicted outcome, but I'll include a caveat.Clarifying user request

I’m thinking I should ask the user a straightforward confirmation: [[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot;Do you want me to write a preview article? Please specify the length, tone, and whether you want predictions, stats, or possible lineups included. Or would you prefer a bullet point version instead?[[NEWS.CONTENT_HTML]]quot; This way, I can keep things simple and give them clear options to choose from. It minimizes friction and ensures I provide exactly what they need!
