He said that much can be said before the game, but the result must be seen on the field.

A new controversy has emerged in the US political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. First Lady Melania Trump plans to file a lawsuit worth over a billion dollars against Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. This was reported by “The Economic Times” citing Melania's lawyers. The cause of the controversy is a conversation that took place in early August, in which Hunter Biden spoke with journalist Andrew Callahan about unreleased documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to him, it was Epstein who introduced Melania to Donald Trump, and their relationship was deep and extensive. Melania Trump's lawyers are calling on Hunter Biden to refrain from making false and defamatory statements. If the demand is not met, the First Lady has announced that she is ready to take all legal measures to compensate for her financial and moral damages. These claims have spread widely in the media and social networks. Melania Trump married Donald Trump in 2005. They first met in 1998 at an event organized by the head of a modeling agency. Donald Trump has admitted knowing Epstein but stated that he ended their relationship in the early 2000s. Jeffrey Epstein is accused of human trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors. According to investigation data, he provided young girls to influential individuals. This case remains one of the pressing topics in US political and public life.

Former president of Moscow "Lokomotiv" Nikolay Naumov believes that more time should be given to Valeriy Karpin in his role as head coach of Moscow "Dinamo". This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Naumov, the club should give Karpin at least until the winter break. Currently, there is no reason for major concern regarding the problems. An important point is that the team needs to work on improving their play. Karpin joined the club in June 2025, and under his leadership, the team's results so far have appeared unsatisfactory to the fans. In the first four rounds of the Russian Championship, "Dinamo" has earned five points. Additionally, last week in the second round of the Russian Cup group stage, they lost at home to "Krasnodar" with a score of 0:4. Therefore, according to Naumov, the team should focus on improving their play and the coach should be given time. This will help achieve better results in the future.

According to former Moscow "Spartak" player Valery Gladilin, a defeat in the fifth round of the Russian Championship against "Zenit" would not be a major disaster for the "red-whites" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that in many positions, "Spartak" is weaker than "Zenit." The team is facing problems in terms of gameplay and is undergoing significant rotation. "Zenit" is a very ambitious opponent. Therefore, losing to "Zenit" is not considered a big problem, says Gladilin. It should be noted that the "Spartak" and "Zenit" teams will face each other on Saturday, August 16, in Moscow as part of the fifth round of the Russian Championship. Currently, both clubs have accumulated only four points over four rounds and are positioned in the middle of the Russian Premier League standings. This match is important for the teams as it provides an opportunity to improve their performance during the season. Additionally, the current condition and playing style of the teams are being closely followed by fans.

Former CSKA player Dmitriy Homuxa shared his thoughts on what the Moscow club needs to do this season to win the championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the team's forwards seem weaker compared to other players because they do not always perform effectively. A high-level striker is necessary for the championship, the expert said in an interview with the "Sovetskiy sport" publication. Homuxa emphasized that CSKA prefers to look for a striker abroad because purchasing a Russian player is much more expensive. In the first four rounds of the Russian Premier League, the "red-blue" team has collected eight points. The team led by Fabio Celestini is currently in fourth place in the competition table. Thus, strengthening the team's attacking line and attracting a highly skilled player is an important factor for success this season.

Ivan Taranov, former CSKA player and captain of Krasnodar, shared his opinion on the rumors about Eduard Spertsiyan's possible transfer to England's Southampton club.

Taranov stated that with time everything will become clear, and it will be known whether the player's decision is justified or not. Earlier, the media reported that Spertsiyan had reached an agreement on a personal contract with the new team, and his annual salary could be up to two million euros. Eduard Spertsiyan grew up at Krasnodar club and managed to play in 150 matches in the main squad, scoring 46 goals and providing 35 assists. These details demonstrate the player's contribution to the team and confirm his professional level. So far, there is no official confirmation regarding his transfer to the new club, but the process is being closely monitored.

Mostovoy emphasized that there are questions for the management, coaching staff, and players. It should be recalled that “Dinamo” lost 0-4 to “Krasnodar” in the match held on Wednesday. This game was the second round of the group stage of the Russian Cup. In the Russian Championship, under the leadership of Valery Karpin, “Dinamo” has only collected five points out of a possible twelve in four rounds.

It is also worth noting that Maxim Glushenkov has not scored any goals for "Zenit" this season. He has appeared in a total of five official matches. Glushenkov transferred to "Zenit" from Moscow "Lokomotiv" a year ago. His activity and performance are expected to be of significant importance to the team.

The team has accumulated a total of four points in the last four rounds. In the last five matches, "Spartak" has won only once. These results are raising negative opinions about the overall condition of the team and indicate problems in the defensive line. Thus, the "Spartak" team needs to strengthen cooperation among defenders and develop leadership qualities to improve their performance.
