Sports team and player research

Create a source-attributed dossier from Flashscore's public team and player pages. Start with the sport and entity the user named; keep team and player identity, season, competition, and observation window explicit. The output is a description of source records, not a fitness clearance or talent recommendation.

Resolve the Flashscore identity

1. Use /flashscore/search to find a candidate, then verify the result's entity type, sport, country, competition, and canonical link. Names can collide across youth, reserve, women's, senior, or similarly named teams.
2. Reuse the returned Flashscore ID only with Flashscore routes. Do not pass a LiveScore, FotMob, or other provider's ID to these endpoints. Preserve the provider ID, URL, retrieval time, and source-reported name.
3. Choose entity routes deliberately: /flashscore/player for profile/career, /flashscore/team and /flashscore/team-squad for team context, and /flashscore/entity-news for Flashscore's own entity-news layout. Team/player news routes are third-party headlines and do not include article text.
