Analyzing footballer searches

I’m thinking about using Google Trends data to verify search interests. I can create a table showing top-searched footballers worldwide by year. It's important to clarify that Google Trends measures relative search interest, not absolute counts, and includes variations in names like "footballer" and "soccer player." The claim mentions that Ronaldo leads searches for ten years and Messi only once, but I have some doubts about Messi's visibility in 2022 and during the 2014 World Cup.Clarifying footballer search data

I'm considering that other players like Neymar and Mbappe might also top searches in some years. The claim about Ronaldo leading while Messi only topped once seems to imply the remaining years are dominated by others. However, I need to avoid making assumptions without data. I think it might be good to check with the user if they want verification and propose using Google Trends for that. Since I have access to networks, I could suggest options like creating a table or a script to analyze the data.Planning the fact-check

I’m thinking about how to approach this fact-checking task. It's important to note that Google Trends provides relative search interest, not absolute counts, and I need to use “topics” for more accurate comparisons. I'll ask the user if they want me to fact-check and create a chart, specifying the timeframe (2010-2024?), region (worldwide?), and whether to use metrics for topics or terms. The claim they mentioned seems exaggerated, and while I can suggest an answer based on trends, I prefer verifying this information first.Clarifying user intent

I think I should respond in Chinese and ask the user what they want exactly. I can propose verifying the claims with reproducible code or doing a quick check. It’s also useful to include a brief note about the pitfalls of trends analysis. They might just be looking for a catchy headline rewrite, so asking a clarifying question like, "你是想让我核查这个说法并给出逐年数据/图表，还是改写/扩展这条资讯？" could be helpful. I'll include options and an outline for my approach without overwhelming them.
