Famous coach Valery Gazzaev expressed his opinion on the possibility of introducing a salary cap for Russian Premier League clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He emphasized that such measures would not yield positive results. According to Gazzaev, as a former player and coach, he believes that a salary cap would not serve the development and future of Russian football. In the coach's opinion, such restrictions could reduce players' motivation and hinder the strengthening of clubs. Furthermore, former coach Gadjiev had also pointed out that a salary cap could lead to an increase in illegal practices. He stated that as a result of such restrictions, some clubs might attempt to pay salaries secretly. Currently, the Russian championship has completed the fourth round of the 2025/2026 season. The "Lokomotiv" team is leading the tournament table. Experts believe that such financial restrictions in football may not produce the expected results. For this reason, it is necessary to approach this matter with caution.

Former “Krasnodar” football player Mikhailo Banyats expressed his opinion on whether the team can defend its championship title in the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Banyats, “Krasnodar” needs to improve its game even further to maintain the championship. For reference, “Krasnodar” has accumulated nine points in the first four rounds of the Russian Premier League. During this period, the team lost only once, 1:2 at home to Moscow's “Lokomotiv.” In the remaining three matches, “Krasnodar” defeated “Pari NN” 3:0, Moscow's “Dinamo” 1:0, and “Orenburg” 1:0 as well. Currently, “Krasnodar” is in second place in the league table. The team is three points behind the leader “Lokomotiv.” “Krasnodar” is expected to continue the fight for the championship, and the team's fans are hoping for better results.

Egor Titov shared his thoughts on the upcoming match that will be significant for the head coach of Moscow's “Spartak” team, Dejan Stankovich, and his coaching staff. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the game between “Spartak” and “Zenit” is crucial for the team's future. Titov emphasized that if “Spartak” wins, it will be a positive event for the club. However, if a different result occurs, it could lead to very serious consequences for “Spartak” in terms of points and the standings. For reference, “Spartak” has not been performing successfully in the new season of the Russian Premier League. The club has only collected four points in the first four rounds. The team has not won in three consecutive matches. Additionally, this season, “Spartak” players have received the most red cards. The match between “Spartak” and “Zenit” will take place on August 16, Saturday, as part of the fifth round of the Premier League. This game is expected to be an important test for the team.

An interesting event occurred in the fourth tier of the amateur football league in Portugal. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In this match, Antonio Karlush Vas Martins, a player from the "Marinense" team, better known as Dede, who hails from the Cape Verde Islands, a former Portuguese colony located on the west coast of Africa, played a crucial role for his team. He scored the only goal for his team in the 64th minute against the "Penike" goal. Then, in the 107th minute, during extra time, due to the team's goalkeeper being sent off and the substitution limit being reached, Dede voluntarily took over as goalkeeper. He successfully saved a penalty awarded by the opponent, keeping his team from defeat. As a result, the "Marinense" team started the new season with a bright victory away. This event was both interesting and exemplary for football fans. Such situations are rare in sports and demonstrate the players' dedication and loyalty to the team.

Italy national team goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been excluded from Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This was reported by a well-known sports journalist. Donnarumma has not extended his contract with PSG and is leaving the club. As a result, PSG's goalkeeping duties are expected to be entrusted to new player Luka Chevalier or Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. Matvey Safonov was the team's second goalkeeper last season. The match for the UEFA Super Cup between PSG and London's Tottenham will take place on August 13, Wednesday, in the city of Udine, Italy. In this match, PSG will take the field without their main goalkeeper. The club's management and coaching staff will make a final decision on the goalkeeper issue before the match. This encounter is generating significant interest among European football fans.

Belgian former footballer Eden Hazard played for London’s Chelsea and Madrid’s Real during his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He spoke about the reasons for his farewell to football. According to Hazard, he reached this decision because he was tired of everything related to football. He mentioned that he loved the 90 minutes of play on the field, but he did not enjoy the preparation processes, constant training, long travels, and the constant attention from journalists. He also emphasized that such situations were the reason for leaving professional football. Eden Hazard ended his career at the age of 32. He achieved many successes in his sports journey, but in recent years he played less due to injuries and other factors. Hazard stated that he made his decision consciously and intends to dedicate his life to other fields now. According to him, football provided him with many opportunities, but the external aspects of professional sports did not suit him.

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev made an important decision to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the order of the head of state, 2 million dollars will be allocated for Ukraine. These funds will be used to purchase modern electrical equipment produced in Azerbaijan and deliver it to the territory of Ukraine. The decision was announced after a phone conversation between Aliyev and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 10. During the conversation, the two leaders discussed a number of issues, particularly condemning the airstrikes on the SOCAR oil base in Ukraine by Russia. It was also emphasized that other Azerbaijani facilities located in Ukraine and a strategically important compressor station were also under threat. Zelensky informed Aliyev about Russia's attacks directed at Ukraine's energy infrastructure. According to him, these actions pose a threat not only to Ukraine but to the energy security of all of Europe. During the conversation, Zelensky sincerely congratulated Azerbaijani President Aliyev on the agreements reached between Baku and Yerevan with the mediation of the United States. For reference, on the night of August 6, Russian forces carried out an airstrike on a compressor station located in the Odessa region, which is crucial for delivering Azerbaijani gas to Europe. Just a few days before this attack, Ukraine had received Azerbaijani gas for the first time through the Trans-Balkan corridor. On the night of August 8, Russian drones struck the SOCAR oil base in the Odessa region. While relations between Moscow and Baku are cooling, ties between Ukraine and Azerbaijan are significantly strengthening. The cause of this tension is related to an incident that occurred in December 2024. An Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane was shot down by the Russian air defense system over the skies of Grozny. Aliyev demanded an apology from Moscow for this incident and compensation for the families of the victims, but Russia rejected this demand. In June, the diplomatic conflict between the two countries intensified. Several representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora were detained in connection with a murder case that occurred 20 years ago in Yekaterinburg. During the investigation, two suspects were killed. An examination conducted by Baku confirmed that their deaths were due to severe injuries. In response, more than 10 Russian citizens suspected of drug trafficking and cybercrime were detained in Azerbaijan. During the investigation, reports emerged that they had been beaten. Currently, Azerbaijan's assistance to Ukraine and its firm stance against Russian attacks are gaining significant attention on the international stage. Officials emphasize that these actions are crucial not only for strengthening cooperation between the two countries but also for ensuring strategic energy security for Ukraine.

Sultan Suleiman and his great vizier Ibrahim Pasha lived as inseparable friends for more than two decades. This was reported by Upl.uz. Their relationship began with music in the garden and was solidified by an oath of eternal protection. However, this bond unexpectedly and quietly ended with death, leaving behind many questions and political intrigues within the palace. When analyzing the events, it appears that Ibrahim's downfall was caused not only by betrayal but also by his own ambitions, jealousy within the palace, and the targeted actions of enemies. Ibrahim's story began with a man named Theodoros from the city of Parga in Greece. He was enslaved in his childhood but received a good education in the home of a Bosnian representative. In 1516, his violin playing captivated the young prince Suleiman, and he took the young man into his service. Thus, Ibrahim entered the service of the future sultan. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger. When Suleiman ascended to the throne, he granted Ibrahim many privileges. He made him the chief administrator of the sultan's household, later appointed him as the commander of the army (seraskir), and finally as the grand vizier. Ibrahim's authority was nearly limitless, and his diplomatic skills were recognized even by European ambassadors. The event that brought their mutual trust to its peak was Suleiman's oath never to punish Ibrahim in his lifetime. However, Ibrahim's rapid rise, his deviation from the traditional devshirme system, and the strong competition and enmity among the old Ottoman aristocracy created significant rivalry. The main rival was the sultan's favorite wife, Hurrem Sultan. Historians believe that Ibrahim was the main obstacle to Hurrem's sons ascending to the throne, as he supported the major heir Mustafa. Hurrem Sultan regarded the vizier as a direct threat to her influence and the future of her children. She attempted to gradually undermine the sultan's trust in his friend. After Ibrahim was killed, it was Hurrem and her allies, including the future grand vizier Rustem Pasha, who established a system of selling positions, leading to an increase in corruption. Many analysts believe that Suleiman turned a blind eye to his wife, not realizing that she was eliminating his closest aides. Ibrahim also engaged in actions that caused discontent. As the commander during the Persian campaign, he received the title of "seraskir-sultan," which was perceived as an attempt to equate himself with the king. Rumors about this were regarded by Suleiman as a significant pride and an affront to his authority. The events of the three days leading up to his assassination remain mysterious. Although historical sources do not elaborate on the details, on March 15, 1536, after dinner with the sultan, Ibrahim was strangled to death in his chambers at the Topkapi Palace. The execution was carried out mysteriously, without an official ceremony. His body was taken out at night and buried in an unknown grave, and all his possessions were confiscated. To avoid breaking his oath, Suleiman sought a fatwa, which allowed him to issue the death sentence. According to some sources, the execution took place while the sultan was asleep, thus he would not be considered to have broken the promise he made "in his lifetime." Although the original of Ibrahim's last letter has not been preserved, sources state that he addressed Suleiman as brother and ruler, accepting his fate without asking for mercy: "You made me your brother, lifted me to the heavens. If you now decide to take my life, it is your will.

Olga Smorodskaya, who previously worked as the president of the "Lokomotiv" club, expressed her opinion on this matter. She highly praised the work of the Russian Football Union in this regard, emphasizing that the opponents are strong and such games will be a good test for the national team.

Milan football club defender Filippo Terraccano will spend the upcoming football season with the Cremonese team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The Milan club has loaned the young defender for a year. Filippo Terraccano is 22 years old and is a product of Verona's academy. Last summer, he transferred from his hometown club to Milan for 3.2 million euros. The player signed a four-year contract with Milan, which will be valid until the summer of 2028. The Cremonese team finished third in the Italian Serie B last season, earning a promotion to the country's second strongest division. This result allowed the team to participate in the top league. Additionally, it was previously reported that Napoli sold its forward to Atletico Madrid from the Italian national team. These changes indicate that Italian football clubs are in the process of strengthening and making changes to their squads ahead of the new season.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Jo Gauchi will continue his career with the Australian club Port Vale. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The young goalkeeper has been loaned for one season. Jo Gauchi is an Australian citizen who moved to Aston Villa from Adelaide United in the winter of 2024. In the second half of last season, he also played on loan at Barnsley in England. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the goalkeeper's market value is estimated at 1.5 million euros. Jo Gauchi has appeared seven times for the Australian national team. Currently, Aston Villa has two experienced goalkeepers – Emiliano Martinez and Marco Bizot. Jo Gauchi's move to Port Vale is considered a good opportunity for him to gain experience and have regular playing time. This transfer could also increase competition among Aston Villa's goalkeepers. At the same time, this could be a positive change for the Australian national team as well.

Mario Balotelli's disciplinary issues have hindered him from showcasing his full potential. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Nevertheless, the 34-year-old forward still expresses his desire to play for the 'Real' team. Currently, there are not many popular options available for Balotelli to continue his career. According to reports from Italian media, for several months, the 'Pavia' club has been trying to add Mario Balotelli to its ranks. The club intends to sign a contract with the experienced forward, and an official offer is expected to be sent to him in the coming days. The 'Pavia' club participates in the D series, which is the fourth tier of Italian football. In the 2024/2025 season, Mario Balotelli played for the 'Genoa' team. He is currently a free agent and is looking for a new team. The future of Balotelli remains uncertain at this time. Although the opportunities for the experienced player to continue his career are limited, his desire to return to professional football is still strong.

Former Russian national team striker Dmitriy Bulykin expressed his opinion on which country would be better for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Matvey Safonov to continue his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Bulykin, if there are offers from European clubs, it would be preferable for Safonov to stay in Europe. Especially if an opportunity arises from the English Premier League, going there would be the best choice. However, Bulykin emphasized that the current situation is somewhat complicated and unclear. For reference, last weekend, PSG officially purchased goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from the French club Lille at a high price. Additionally, the club still has experienced Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The team also includes Spanish goalkeeper Arnau Tenas and 19-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Renatu Marin. Therefore, the competition among goalkeepers at PSG is strong, and the opportunity for Safonov to play in the starting lineup may be complicated. For this reason, Bulykin recommends that Safonov choose the best option to continue his career.

On July 31, the mountainous city of Sost in the strategically located Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan became the center of tension in trade relations between China and Pakistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Videos circulated on social media on this day showed Chinese citizens blocking the main road. After a few hours, Pakistani traders sat in the middle of the road and completely halted movement through the immigration point in Sost. This situation is a manifestation of the growing protests in Gilgit-Baltistan. The local population considers this trade system to be unfair and exploitative, as the economic benefits mainly favor the Chinese side, while local traders are forced to operate under unfavorable conditions. The city of Sost is an important road connecting Pakistan to China's Xinjiang province through the Khunjerab Pass and is one of the key points of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project. The disagreement that arose on July 31 led to a physical confrontation between Chinese travelers and Pakistani customs officials. This situation sparked discontent among Chinese tourists. Local traders continued protests against the unfairness of customs inspections and unequal trade conditions, halting movement at immigration points. To prevent further escalation of the situation, additional security forces were sent to the area. Traders in Gilgit-Baltistan have been expressing their grievances for years. They believe that the Economic Corridor project has not brought significant benefits to the local economy. On the contrary, the local population feels that their lands and resources are being used as a transit for foreign interests. Local businesses are struggling due to bureaucracy and unequal opportunities. While Pakistani vehicles and goods undergo strict inspections, Chinese cargo is almost unchecked. Moreover, the workforce used in CPEC projects mainly consists of workers coming from China, leaving the local population deprived of job opportunities. The events of July 31 are an expression of long-standing injustices and discontent in the region rather than just a customs dispute. The Pakistan-China Traders Movement Committee has intensified protests since July 21, demanding the cancellation of the "illegal tax" levies imposed by federal authorities at the Sost Dry Port. These levies represent a new tax burden for traders in Gilgit-Baltistan, causing discontent among local traders. The federal government and relevant authorities have shown indifference to the issue, and no concrete measures have been taken to reduce the protests. This has led to an increase in discontent in the region. Gilgit-Baltistan is considered a region of strategic importance, yet it remains in a constitutionally ambiguous status, and the political and economic interests of the local population are not adequately protected. China's influence in the region is steadily increasing. Chinese companies are actively involved in areas such as road and tunnel construction and customs management. While some local residents acknowledge improvements in infrastructure, many perceive these processes as economic exclusion and even foreign invasion. The clash on July 31 highlighted the dominance of the Chinese in the regional power balance and once again raised the issue of sovereignty in the area. The Gilgit-Baltistan region has historically witnessed numerous protests. From demands for constitutional status to ecological and economic grievances, the local population has expressed its views strongly. The recent protests in Sost should also be viewed in this context. The federal government's slow responses have led to an increase in protests

Former Moscow Dynamo player Vladimir Granat shared his thoughts on the team's unsuccessful start to the new season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, it is not easy to radically change the Dynamo team in a short time. Granat stated that Valeriy Karpin is not a fairy tale hero with a magic wand. He cannot come in and solve all the problems at once. A football team has a complex structure, and developing it and achieving results requires time and effort. It should be noted that the Dynamo team has only collected five points after four rounds. With this result, they are seven points behind the first place. Last Sunday, Dynamo played away against Sochi, one of the Premier League's outsiders, and recorded a draw. According to reports, Valeriy Karpin was appointed as the head coach of Moscow Dynamo in June 2025 and signed a three-year contract. The specialist faces the task of strengthening the team and achieving high results. In Granat's opinion, this process takes time and requires working with patience.

According to former football player Andrey Buyvolov, the Kaliningrad team “Baltika” had a successful start in the Russian Premier League thanks to head coach Andrey Talalayev. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Buyvolov stated that the current results of the team are related to the coach's experience and leadership. According to him, Talalayev can create a strong and cohesive team even from average players. Therefore, the current achievements of “Baltika” are not a coincidence. Buyvolov also emphasized that “Baltika” might slightly lower its pace in the upcoming matches, but the team will not fall into the struggle for lower positions. Last season, “Baltika” won in the PARI league. In the new season, the team has not lost a single match yet. In four rounds, “Baltika” has gained 8 out of 12 points. During this time, the team faced strong opponents such as Moscow's “Dinamo,” “Spartak,” and “Krylya Sovetov.” Especially, forward Vadim Rakov showed active performance in the ranks of “Krylya Sovetov.” In this way, “Baltika” started the new season confidently and is showing good results.

The schedule of the Russian national team's matches in November has been expanded. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Within the framework of the final gathering of 2025, the team led by Valery Karpin will take the field against the national teams of Peru and Chile. The match between Russia and Peru will take place on November 12 at Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg. The game between the national teams of Russia and Chile will be held on November 15 at Fisht Stadium in Sochi. Additionally, the national teams of Peru and Chile will also compete against each other. This match will take place on November 18 in Sochi. Thus, a friendly tournament involving three national teams will be organized. It is known that the Russian Football Union has been operating under restrictions for the past three and a half years. Therefore, the Russian national team can only participate in friendly matches. These matches will be held as part of the preparation for international competitions and will help maintain the team's sporting form.

A significant decision has been made regarding goalkeepers in the PSG team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It has been revealed that Luka Shevalye, who recently joined the team, has been chosen as the main goalkeeper of the Paris club. At the same time, the current goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is planned to be sold a year before the expiration of his contract. In this case, Matvey Safonov will remain in the team as the second goalkeeper. PSG head coach Luis Enrique is not satisfied with Donnarumma's performance and does not wish to see him in the starting lineup. For this reason, a decision has been made to part ways with Donnarumma and sell him to another club. Donnarumma has been informed that the team's number one goalkeeper will now be Shevalye. Last season, Matvey Safonov played in 17 official matches for PSG and conceded a total of 13 goals in these matches. Nevertheless, Safonov became the winner of the French championship, the French Cup, the French Super Cup, and the Champions League with PSG. These changes will play a crucial role in shaping the team's lineup for the upcoming season.

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.

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.
