CSKA team's head coach Fabio Chelestini commented to the press after the match against the "Rubin" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The coach stated that Verde moved on the left flank during the game and sometimes swapped places with Misha Ryadno. They took each other's positions, with Verde occasionally moving to the center and Misha sometimes going to the wing. However, Verde did not play on the right flank. Speaking about the debut of new players, Chelestini emphasized that the team played well in the first half, but there were issues in finishing the attacks. He recalled that in the previous match against "Rubin," every opportunity turned into a goal. In today's game, although the team had the advantage, they lacked efficiency in the final 30 meters. The coach noted that if attacks are not finished effectively, it will be difficult to win. In response to the question of why efficiency was low in the final third, Chelestini spoke about the peculiarities of football. Sometimes three shots result in three goals, while at other times, despite having many opportunities, it is impossible to score. He happily mentioned that the team's lineup, composed of young players, took the field together for the first time and they dominated the game. Chelestini emphasized that the team played well, created many situations, but there was a lack of precision in the final stage. He stated that it is necessary to work on this, but he is satisfied with the overall performance. When asked whether there was a conversation with Vladislav Torop after his mistake, the coach replied that Torop played well, even excellently, and that every player can make mistakes.

Dear students, today we will provide information regarding the situation at the front. This was reported by Zamin.uz. After it became clear that Putin and Trump would meet in Alaska, Russia has been intensifying attacks on the Donbass front and attempting to encircle key cities. These actions are believed to be directly related to the meeting in Alaska. In recent days, several sources have reported that Russia's offensive aimed at fully capturing the Donetsk region is progressing successfully. There are reports that the cities of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd are nearly surrounded by Russian troops. Additionally, Konstantinovka is also on the brink of encirclement. Russian forces are advancing towards Kramatorsk and Drujkivka. According to information from the Ukrainian side, the advance of the Russians is occurring due to the command errors of the Ukrainian forces, a lack of military resources, and incorrect strategy. According to Azov battalion officer Bogdan Krotevich, the situation is very severe, but officials have not yet provided an official comment on this matter. Some publications emphasize that Russian troops have broken through the defense line in the Donbass region and advanced 18 kilometers. Currently, they are using light military equipment and motorcycles, lacking strong defense. The Ukrainian side is not seriously expending efforts to conduct active counterattacks in this direction. If Russia continues this action and captures the cities of Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, and Dobropole, the Donetsk region will be fully under control. So far, Kyiv has not officially commented on these losses. If the information is confirmed, Ukraine will have lost the most territory in a short period during 2024. For Russia, the minimal goal in the war is to fully capture Donbass. Over the past year, the Russians have been focusing specifically on the Donetsk region, paying less attention to other directions. After it became clear that Putin would go to Alaska, the attacks intensified. This indicates that the military leadership has ordered Putin to present a successful image during his meeting with Trump. If Russia achieves its goal, Putin will be in a strong position in Alaska. Moscow has been emphasizing in recent years that the goal of the war is not to fully capture Ukraine, but to gain control over Donbass. During the meeting with Trump, Putin might say, "We have achieved our goal – Donbass has been fully captured, now I will listen to you." In such a situation, it will be difficult for Trump to exert pressure on Russia. Thus, dear students, before a crucial meeting that will determine the fate of the war, Russia may achieve a strategic victory. This complicates the situation for Kyiv even further. We will closely monitor the situation. Stay informed through the One.uz website. Don't forget to subscribe to our social media pages. Prepared by O'tkir Jalolxonov.

Akron team's head coach Zaur Tedeev shared his thoughts after the game against CSKA. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that today's victory was not easy. According to the coach, CSKA is one of the best teams in terms of gameplay. They control the ball well and have experienced players in their squad. Akron had to play defensively because pressing was not always successful in the first half. The reason for this is that many young players who had not played together before joined the team at the same time. At the same time, they moved well in defense and did not give the opponent many opportunities. They could have been more active in counterattacks. The team also remained calm in ball control. Despite the pressing being insufficient, they managed to score a goal right after a pressing situation. The coach expressed his satisfaction with the players' patient and confident play, as well as the ability of the young players to show themselves. When assessing the debut of new players, the coach mentioned that Konstantin Maradishvili needs a little time to fully adapt. His position is responsible and requires a lot from him. Maradishvili adapted to the team in a short time and performed well in today's game. His endurance is still not enough, but it will improve over time. Popenkov is a young player who recently graduated from school and was called up to the team. He also managed to show himself well. In response to a question about the injury of team player Benshimol, the coach expressed hope that it is not a serious injury. According to him, it is not a muscle injury, but rather a result of a simple collision. There is hope that Benshimol will be ready for the next game.

Aleksandr Shikunov previously worked as the sports director of the 'Spartak' football club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He expressed his opinion about the future of the team's head coach Deyan Stankovich. According to Shikunov, Stankovich's resignation has become inevitable. He stated that after the game against 'Lokomotiv', Stankovich himself mentioned that some coaches would leave the club voluntarily. Shikunov recognized Stankovich as an honest and prominent player, advising him to make the decision to resign independently. This season, in the fourth round of the Russian Premier League, 'Spartak' lost 2:4 away to Moscow's 'Lokomotiv'. This result marked the worst start for the club in the last 14 years. After four rounds, the team has only accumulated four points and is in 11th place in the league table. Additionally, 'Spartak' has repeated its anti-record for the number of goals conceded at the start of the championship. The team conceded 12 goals in the first four rounds.

According to Khomuha, this rejection will not negatively affect Batrakov's chances of playing abroad. The coach emphasized that in order to attract the attention of strong clubs, a player must demonstrate stable performance and achieve high results in terms of goals and assists. Khomuha stated that Batrakov is working in this direction and his results are positive. He expressed confidence in Batrakov's future. Batrakov has played 48 matches in the main squad, scoring 23 goals and providing 10 assists. In the current season, he has scored 7 goals in 5 matches. His team is currently leading the championship and has won all 4 matches.

In the first match of the second round of the group stage of the Russian Cup, a penalty situation was observed. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In this match, the "Akron" team defeated Moscow's CSKA without one of its key players, Artyom Dzyuba. In the final part of the game, CSKA brought in their main squad players, but they failed to justify coach Fabio Chelestini's trust during the penalty shootout. As a result, an unexpected situation occurred in the match. The game ended in a 1:1 draw between "Akron" and CSKA. The winner was determined through a penalty shootout, in which "Akron" prevailed 5:4. After the match, the players' performances were rated on a 10-point scale. Below is information about the four players who received the lowest scores. Vladislav Torop received 3.5 points. He could have helped his team during the penalty shootout, but he failed to correct his mistake made during regular time. His assist that led to a goal also harmed his team. Overall, Torop did not make significant saves during regular time either. Seku Koyta also received 3.5 points. He left the game before the penalty shootout. He missed two good opportunities during regular time. Koyta was supposed to decide the game first, but he failed to properly direct the ball that the goalkeeper had deflected, and then he missed another opportunity. Kirill Glebov and Danil Krugovoy received 3 points. Although they were brought in as fresh players, they could not make a significant impact on the game. Their actions did not yield results in the match or during the penalty shootout. Krugovoy could not capitalize on his opportunity, and Glebov failed to convert his penalty accurately. In this case, the "Akron" team achieved victory. The above players received the lowest scores in this match and were responsible for their team's defeat. As the results of the match and the players' actions are analyzed, this game became an important lesson for the coach and the players.

VAR system has been used in Russian football for several years, but controversial situations continue to persist. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Such controversial situations are analyzed by referee expert Alexander Bobrov. He examines each contentious case and keeps a record of referees' mistakes. This record only takes into account errors that were not corrected after VAR intervention. In the last season, Sport-Ekspress published the table of referees' mistakes compiled by Bobrov. According to this table, the most mistakes were recorded in favor of "Spartak." Referees assisted this team three times, but they also made mistakes against "Spartak" twice. Looking at the overall balance, the "Rostov" team ranks first in the standings. They have two errors in their favor and none against them. "Spartak," "Orenburg," "Dinamo," "Rubin," "Sochi," and CSKA teams occupy the next positions with a +1 statistic. The teams that suffered the most from referees' mistakes are "Zenit" and "Baltika." "Zenit" had no errors in their favor, but two mistakes were recorded against them. "Baltika," on the other hand, has a -2 statistic with two errors in their favor and four against them. Thus, despite the use of the VAR system, refereeing mistakes remain one of the main topics in football discussions.

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.

They also help participants develop teamwork skills and the ability to work in a healthy competitive environment. These events are of great importance for improving professional qualifications and further developing the field.
