According to Leonid Tufrin, the former president of the St. Petersburg "Zenit" club, the transfer of Russian football players to this club is not beneficial for them. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that local players included in the "Zenit" squad often remain on the bench and as a result, lose their game. For example, according to Tufrin, the team's head coach Semak is mainly forcing Glushenkov to sit on the bench. For this reason, many Russian football players playing for "Zenit" are unable to showcase their skills. After moving to other clubs, they manage to regain their game and start showing good results. Tufrin illustrated this situation with the examples of Sergeev, Krugovoy, and other players. It is worth noting that "Zenit" is having an unsuccessful start to the new season. In the first four rounds of the Russian Premier League, the team has only accumulated four points. In the upcoming fifth round, "Zenit" will play against Moscow's "Spartak." Notably, "Spartak" has also started the new season with difficulties and is currently among the clubs facing a crisis. Therefore, this match is of significant importance for both teams.

According to football agent Dmitriy Selyuk, the main reason for the unsatisfactory performance of the "Zenit" team in this year's Russian championship is the large number of Brazilian players in the squad. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He stated that since the club has focused on Brazilian players, the results have been deteriorating. Selyuk emphasized that many clubs around the world are moving away from Brazilian players because their performances are not sufficient. He also noted that Brazilian players are unable to show high results even in their national teams. In the last round, "Zenit" lost to "Akhat" with a score of 0:1. Currently, the team led by Sergey Semak is in eighth place in the Russian Premier League standings. This situation indicates that there are problems in achieving the goals set for the team. Experts are highlighting that there is a lack of balance in the "Zenit" squad and that changes are necessary to improve the results.

Dmitriy Bulykin, a former player of the Lokomotiv football club, shared his thoughts on the future of the club's leader, Aleksey Batrakov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He stated that Batrakov has great potential and if he receives an offer from big clubs, he should take advantage of this opportunity and move to another team. According to Bulykin, it has become difficult for Russian players to transfer to foreign countries at the moment. Nevertheless, if a large sum of money is offered to the player and the club, Batrakov will have no choice but to move to another team. In the first five matches of the current season, Batrakov managed to score seven goals. Currently, Lokomotiv is in first place in the league table, three points ahead of the nearest pursuer. In the next round, Lokomotiv will face the Baltika team away in the Russian championship. The match is scheduled to take place on August 16. Bulykin believes that Batrakov's future depends on how he works on himself and how he utilizes new opportunities. Both the club and the player must make decisions considering their interests.

Russian sports commentator Dmitry Guberniyev commented on the news about the introduction of a salary cap in the Russian football championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Earlier, insider Ivan Karpov had reported this on his social media. Dmitry Guberniyev emphasized that money is naturally important and everyone wants to earn it. However, when players' salaries and expenses are excessively increasing, this situation raises questions for the sports minister and society. In his opinion, proposing such a measure in the current economic conditions is a natural and correct decision. Additionally, there are plans to tighten restrictions on the number of foreign players in the Russian Premier League. In a recent statement, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Degtyaryov, said that soon Russian clubs will be able to register 10 foreign players, of whom five can be on the field at the same time. Currently, the "13+8" formula is in effect in the RPL. Such changes are expected to contribute to the development of football in the country and its economic stability.

This was reported by Euro-football.ru. From the start of the game, both teams were active.

Leonchi emphasized that at the moment, the player Ken remains with the club, and despite interest from Saudi Arabia, his transfer has not yet taken place.

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.
