Vyacheslav Koloskov, the honorary president of the Russian Football Union, expressed his opinion about the problems of the "Zenit" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He noted that he does not understand why the performance of the "Zenit" team is currently unreliable, as there are high-level players in the squad. According to Koloskov, the main problem of the team may lie not in the training process, but in management. He stated that this issue needs to be resolved by the coaching staff. Currently, "Zenit" has played four matches in the Russian championship, accumulating five points and is in eighth place in the tournament table. In the next, fifth round, the team will face Moscow's "Spartak" club under the leadership of Sergey Semak. According to the specialist, although "Zenit" has strong players, the results are not as expected. For this reason, special attention should be paid to management issues within the team. Koloskov emphasized that the coaches and management need to address this problem promptly.

Famous sports commentator Dmitriy Guberniyev expressed his opinion about goalkeeper Matvey Safonov's future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the Russian player's performance at "PSG" is not dependent on the arrival of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnıy. The official announcement regarding the transfer of the Ukrainian national team player was made on Tuesday. Guberniyev stated that Safonov himself does not want to leave "PSG" and he is not being sidelined from the team because of Zabarnıy. He emphasized that currently there is an issue with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at "PSG". Recently, the club also signed a contract with Chevalier, who will also compete for a starting position. Guberniyev mentioned that competition always exists in sports, and perhaps Matvey Safonov will withstand the competition and remain the main goalkeeper. In his opinion, Safonov's future at "PSG" is not dependent on the Ukrainian player. Matvey Safonov joined "PSG" last summer. He has won four trophies with the team: the French championship, the French cup, the French super cup, and the Champions League. On August 13 of this year, "PSG" will face "Tottenham" in the UEFA Super Cup.

Arrigo Sacchi is a famous coach who once managed the "Milan" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He recently shared his thoughts on "Manchester United" forward Rasmus Hoylund. According to the latest information, this player, who is a member of the Denmark national team, is not planning to move to Italy. In this regard, Sacchi said: "Milan" should forget about this forward and focus on players who genuinely want to wear the team jersey. "You have to love Milan; this club can never be a backup option." Arrigo Sacchi also criticized the player's choice. According to him, "Manchester United" is certainly a famous and historic team, but on one side, there is a club offering you a place in the starting lineup, while on the other side, there is a team that is only trying to make a transfer. For reference, Rasmus Hoylund played 52 matches at the club level last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 4 assists. Thus, he demonstrated his effectiveness in attack.

The meeting planned between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on August 15 has attracted significant public attention and debate. This was reported by Zamin.uz. During a press conference, Trump mistakenly stated that he would go to Russia for negotiations with Putin. In fact, Putin is expected to come to the US state of Alaska. Trump explained his words as a slip of the tongue. Svetlana Jurova, deputy chair of the State Duma's international affairs committee, emphasized that Trump has closely linked Putin with Russia. Trump referred to the meeting as "preliminary" and "experimental," stating that the main goal is to understand Moscow's position on resolving the conflict in Ukraine. He mentioned his intention to persuade Putin to put an end to the conflict and clarify the issue of granting territorial concessions to Ukraine. He also highlighted the possibility of withdrawing from the process if the negotiations do not yield results. According to Trump, five minutes is enough to assess the possibility of an agreement. Trump also criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's position. He stated that despite Zelensky relying on the constitution and the majority of the population supporting a peace treaty with Russia, he is refusing to end the conflict through territorial concessions. Trump added that he would definitely call Zelensky after the negotiations and mentioned that there could be a land exchange. Former deputy of the Supreme Rada, Vladimir Oleynik, warned that the Kyiv regime might attempt to sabotage the meeting. According to him, the Ukrainian government, along with its European partners, is opposing territorial concessions and pushing for NATO membership. This is considered contrary to agreements between Moscow and Washington. Panic is growing in Ukrainian media regarding the territorial issue, as this topic is expected to be one of the main focuses of the Trump-Putin negotiations. At the same time, due to Zelensky's firm position, there is a risk that the American president may withdraw from the negotiations. This could lead to a decrease in international attention to the Ukrainian issue. Russian political scientist Sergey Markov, interpreting Trump's words, emphasized that they indicate that a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia would include territorial exchanges. He referred to Zelensky as a war criminal and deemed reliance on the constitution as logically incomprehensible. In the West, this statement was accepted as a diplomatic victory for Russia and Putin. An article published in the Washington Post noted that the upcoming negotiations could bring the two leaders closer and prompt the US president to make sharp statements.

“Sochi” football team started the new season unsuccessfully. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The team accumulated only one point in the last four rounds.

CSKA player Igor Diveyev expressed his thoughts on the difference between the current head coach Fabio Chelestini and former coach Marko Nikolic. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the main difference between CSKA under Chelestini and CSKA under Nikolic is evident in the high pressing. Diveyev stated that it does not matter to him which style to play; he is ready to step onto the field in any case. For the player, the most important thing is to adapt to the new system through training and gatherings. For reference, Marko Nikolic managed the CSKA team in the 2024/25 season. Under his leadership, the team won the Russian Cup and secured third place in the Russian championship. This summer, Fabio Chelestini was appointed as the head coach of CSKA. After Chelestini took over the team management, in his very first game, CSKA managed to win the Russian Super Cup against "Krasnodar," achieving victory and securing the trophy. Thus, the team achieved its first significant result with the new coach.

Football expert Valery Masalitin expressed his opinion on the likelihood of coaching changes in strong clubs of the Russian Premier League in an interview with the online publication "Euro-Football." This was reported by Euro-football.ru. After the fourth round, discussions about the resignation of coaches have emerged in clubs with poor results, particularly in "Zenit" and "Spartak." However, it is still too early to come to such conclusions. If the situation does not change in the next two or three rounds, especially the mutual match between these clubs could be decisive. Depending on the result, coaching changes are not out of the question. According to Masalitin, Stankovich is currently seen as the closest candidate for resignation. His team is not achieving results, and the quality of play is also insufficient. Semak knows the team well, and his relationship with the management is strong, which gives him confidence. However, if the management is patient, there may be no changes at all. Although Semak knows the team well, he is unable to bring the playing style up to modern standards. The team is moving at a slow pace, which does not align with modern football. The high speeds demonstrated by European clubs and in the World Cup are considered a fundamental requirement of modern football. If there are no results, the coach is primarily responsible for this. Ivich is being mentioned as the main candidate to replace Stankovich. His playing style is more defensive, while "Spartak" always prefers attacking football. Stankovich is often criticized for being overly emotional during the game. On the other hand, in a club like "Spartak," the coach must be able to maintain composure and align with the club's dignity. The team's movement, the mutual trust between the coach and the management directly affects the results. The "Dinamo" team also did not start the season well. The club management is characterized by impatience. Coaches have been frequently replaced in the past. Karpin is rebuilding the team, and there are injured players as well. Everything depends on the management's patience. Rebuilding a team takes two to three years. It is necessary to train the players and create competition for each position. If investments have been made and players have been purchased, immediate results are expected. However, patience and mutual understanding are crucial for results. If the team strays from its path, the coach will change. Therefore, it is essential for every club to choose the right path to achieve results and to be patient.

Arsen Adamov, defender of the Zenit football club from Saint Petersburg, shared his thoughts ahead of the match against Kazan's Rubin in the Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that there are no easy opponents in Russia. According to Adamov, this match is expected to be as challenging as the game in Kazan. The footballer expressed confidence that if his team enters the field fully prepared and strong, they will achieve victory. The Cup match between Zenit and Rubin will take place today, August 12, at Gazprom Arena stadium in Saint Petersburg. The match is scheduled to start at 18:30 Moscow time. This game will be covered online in text format on the Liveresult.ru website. It is worth noting that both teams are considered leading clubs in Russian football. Ahead of the match, experts and fans predict a fierce and uncompromising battle between the two teams. Zenit players have stated that they are ready to give their all in this game. The Rubin team, in turn, will also take to the field aiming for a good result. This match is expected to be an interesting and significant event for football fans.

Aleksey Chistyakov, the "PSJ" goalkeeper Matvey Safonov's first coach, shared his thoughts on the player's decision to stay in France despite the arrival of Luc Shevalye to the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The specialist emphasized that he views the situation differently, but Safonov is a mature person who makes decisions independently. According to Chistyakov, Matvey believes in his opportunity and hopes to overcome Shevalye in the competition, as Shevalye's reputation is not as high as Donnarumma's. At the same time, the coach reminded Safonov that a starting goalkeeper position at "PSJ" is not guaranteed. In Chistyakov's opinion, if Safonov manages to become the starting goalkeeper at "PSJ," the decision to stay in France will be justified. Safonov has set high goals for himself and believes in himself. Last season, the 26-year-old Russian player played 17 matches across all competitions and kept a clean sheet in seven of those matches. These results demonstrate his professional level. Safonov's future career is being closely followed by fans and specialists.

Russian hockey legend and State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov expressed his opinion about the anticipated changes in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The discussion is about tightening the restrictions on the number of foreign players and increasing the salary cap for players. Fetisov emphasized that he supports the introduction of a salary cap for players. However, he stated that he is not in favor of tightening restrictions on the number of foreign players. In his opinion, legionnaires do not negatively affect the development of local players. Currently, there are enough clubs in Russia, and many local players play in them. They can grow and gain experience in a competitive environment. This is also a common situation in world football. According to current regulations, clubs in the Russian Premier League can register a maximum of 13 foreign players in a season. Out of these, 8 can be on the field at the same time. There are also discussions about introducing a “10+5” rule or a slightly softer formula during the transition period instead of this arrangement. After four rounds, the “Lokomotiv” team is leading in the Russian Premier League. Fetisov also noted that he considers broadcasting the European Championship matches in Russia as a betrayal.

This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In a recent derby, Batrakov managed to score three goals. According to Titov, it is still too early to call Batrakov a star. Only if he shows consistent performance over two, three, or four seasons will his potential be fully realized. If Batrakov continues to play this way, he may attract the attention of major European clubs. Currently, Batrakov is considered one of the top scorers in the Russian Premier League. After four rounds, he has scored six times against opposing teams. As a midfielder, he is actively contributing important goals to his team. Experts are monitoring his growth and development. Batrakov's results are drawing the attention of the football community. It is said that he has the potential to achieve even higher results in the future.

Former "Sevilla" team head coach Dmitriy Cheryshev shared his thoughts on the prospects of "Lokomotiv" club midfielder Aleksey Batrakov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Cheryshev, it is currently unknown whether Batrakov will move to European clubs or not. However, he emphasizes that if offers come from good teams, every player should try their luck. In the new season, the 20-year-old Batrakov has managed to score six goals in four matches in the Russian Premier League. This result demonstrates the young player's potential and hard work. The labor contract signed with "Lokomotiv" is set to last until 2029. According to experts, the Transfermarkt portal has set Batrakov's transfer value at around 12 million euros. Thus, the young player is showing noteworthy results not only in his team but also on the international stage.

The expert emphasized that despite the fact that the "Zenit" team has not started the new season successfully in the Russian championship, Semak should not be dismissed from his position. According to Radchenko, Sergey Bogdanovich knows the team well and, most importantly, he has not lost his motivation. He also has the ability to get the coach out of difficult situations. In the last match, "Zenit" lost 0:1 away to Grozny's "Akhmat" team. Currently, the team under Semak's leadership has accumulated five points after four rounds and is in eighth place in the competition table. In the next match, "Zenit" will face Moscow's "Spartak" team away.

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.
