Former "Zenit" player Aleksey Gasilin criticized the head coach of Moscow's "Spartak" team, Deyan Stankovich. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Gasilin emphasized that the "Spartak" squad is not bad, but Stankovich must acknowledge that his ideas are not working. He stated that the entire game of the team is built only through Zablotniy, and this situation is not correct. On August 13, "Spartak" lost to Makhachkala's "Dinamo" in the penalty shootout in the group stage of the Russian Cup at home. Currently, "Spartak" has won only once after four rounds in the Russian championship. The team is in eleventh place in the league table. Aleksey Gasilin pointed out that the current results of "Spartak" are related to the coach's wrong decisions and shortcomings in choosing the playing style.

Mahachkala's “Dinamo” defender Valentin Pal’tsev spoke about his feelings after conceding a goal to Moscow's “Spartak” team in the additional minutes of the Russian Cup match.

However, in the fifth additional minute, “Spartak” player Ruslan Litvinov equalized the score. According to Valentin Pal’tsev, the “Dinamo” players lost their focus due to fatigue in the final moments of the game and conceded a goal. The regular time of the match ended with a score of 1:1.

The Russian goalkeeper of the PSG team, Matvey Safonov, stated two conditions for leaving the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, he is only ready to leave the club in two cases. The first case is if the club management asks him to leave the team. The second case is if one of the strong clubs in Europe guarantees him a permanent place in the starting lineup. Currently, Safonov has expressed his desire to stay in Paris and is ready to fight to maintain his position in the club. He considers leaving the team independently as a sign of weakness. For this reason, Safonov intends to strive to be the main goalkeeper at PSG.

According to reports, Donnarumma's departure from the team is certain, and he is expected to move to Manchester City in England. For this reason, Safonov's future remains uncertain.

The ratings given to the players led by Dejan Stankovich Moscow's "Spartak" team has lost again. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This time, the defeat was also related to the dominance in the game. In fact, "Spartak" could have decided the outcome of the game during regular time, but the six minutes added by the referee extended the game to a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, "Spartak" goalkeeper Ilya Pomazun's bravery could not save the team from defeat. Dejan Stankovich's departure to the dressing room before the end of the game was not in vain. He felt that victory was unlikely. "Spartak" lost again. The outcome of the game was influenced by the penalty shootout, but the team's performance was generally unsatisfactory. Now let's focus on the players who performed the worst. Below are the ratings given to some players of Dejan Stankovich's team by the "Eurofootball.ru" website based on a ten-point system. Match protocol: Spartak Moscow – Dynamo Makhachkala 1:1 (penalty shootout: 3:4). Goals: Agalarov for Dynamo in the 87th minute, Litvinov for Spartak in the 90th minute. The four players who performed the worst: Anton Zabolotniy – 4 points. There were almost no attacks from "Spartak." Zabolotniy tried, pressured the opponent, and took several shots towards the goal, but the shots were inaccurate. Manfred Ugalde – 3.5 points. Ugalde was invisible in the game. He could not show himself in the two-striker setup, especially when Zabolotniy had the ball more often. Ugalde frequently shifted to the center and did not actively participate in the game. His substitution could have happened even before the 66th minute. Danil Prutsev – 3 points. Prutsev acted chaotically in the center. He lost many duels and could not perform useful actions in defense and attack. He also failed to take the ball from the opponent or strengthen the game. Pablo Solari – 3 points. Solari could not show himself in the previous match either. This time he was brought on from the bench, but within a short time, he committed a foul against an opponent, leading to a penalty being awarded. In conclusion, the "Spartak" team did not perform well in this match, and some players, in particular, acted sluggishly. The team has a lot of work ahead.

Famous footballer Edgar Davids, who played for Juventus in past years, learned that his acquaintance Nabila Habibi committed theft. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The ad.nl portal provided information about this. According to the publication, Davids found out several years later that his painting collection had been stolen. He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros. In 2017, when Habibi was unable to repay her debts, the pawnshops gained the right to sell the paintings. One of the buyers saw Davids' name on the back of a painting and contacted him through social networks. After that, Davids filed a lawsuit. Habibi admitted to the theft. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
