Experienced specialist Valeriy Ovchinnikov shared his thoughts. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He previously worked with the “Lokomotiv” team of Nizhny Novgorod. Currently, Ovchinnikov expressed his opinions regarding the potential dismissal of Spartak's head coach Dejan Stankovich. At the moment, “Spartak” is in eleventh place in the Russian championship. According to Ovchinnikov, it is too early to say that “Spartak” will have a failed season. In his opinion, if the team updates its coaching staff in time and strengthens the squad for a new head coach, there is still time until the end of August. Therefore, there is a possibility to improve the team's situation. It should be noted that Dejan Stankovich was appointed as the head coach of the “Spartak” team last year. Under his leadership, the team finished fourth in the last season. The current results are causing various opinions among fans and specialists. The team management and coaches face the task of improving the results.

Former famous football player Aleksandr Mostovoy expressed his opinion about the situation around the head coach of the "Spartak" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The team started the season unsuccessfully, and there were talks that head coach Deyan Stankovich could be dismissed. According to Aleksandr Mostovoy, coaches are frequently changing in "Spartak," and it is clear that this situation is not benefiting the team. He emphasized that regardless of who is appointed as head coach, the problems will not be resolved. According to Mostovoy, the next coach will also work for a short time like the previous ones and will leave. He noted that the frequent changes of coaches in the team are not having a positive impact on the results. Mostovoy also reminded that it is the players who go onto the field, and they are mainly responsible for the results. According to him, even if the coaches perform their duties, the main role in the game belongs to the players. For reference, "Spartak" lost 2:4 to the "Lokomotiv" club this week, and this result disappointed the team's fans. Currently, the "red-whites" are in 11th place in the Premier League standings. In the next round, Deyan Stankovich's team will face "Zenit."

The head coach of the Orenburg football team, Vladimir Slishkovich, shared his thoughts on the match against Krasnodar at the end of the game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. After the match, Slishkovich emphasized that the game unfolded differently in both halves. According to him, there were dangerous situations for our team in the first half, and we even managed to score a goal. However, the opponent was quite active in set pieces, creating danger for our goal several times. In the second half, when the score was 0:0, we had 3-4 good counterattack opportunities, but we could not convert them into goals. In the final minutes of the game, new players came onto the field, but due to a small mistake, the opponent scored. Overall, according to Slishkovich, Krasnodar's victory was deserved. The coach expressed regret that we could not capitalize on our scoring opportunities. He also noted that there were many dangerous situations for the team, but a player to execute the final shot was not found. Slishkovich believes that this situation is not related to the players' inability to interact with each other, but rather to their individual skills. He emphasized that there are many new players in the team, and they need to be given opportunities. He announced that some key players would be rested in the cup matches, while some players would be given the chance to showcase themselves. The coach added that due to short-term breaks, not all players can always be on the starting lineup.

The head coach of the Krasnodar team, Murad Musayev, shared his thoughts after the match against Orenburg. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. After the match, he emphasized that it was not easy for his team. According to Musayev, the Orenburg team is a strong opponent, and playing on an artificial pitch also posed difficulties. The game was as tough as expected, as the Orenburg team played more long balls and waited for our mistakes, countering in the midfield. Nevertheless, the coach is pleased that his team emerged victorious. He particularly noted that the players who came off the bench added strength to the game and scored the winning goal. In Musayev's opinion, achieving a good result required significant effort not only in the game but also in training. There was an eight-day gap between matches, and during this time, the team prepared well. The coach expressed regret that only Olasa got injured and Moses also faced a minor injury before the game. Currently, the team is heading towards Moscow, where preparations will be made for the match against Dynamo. According to the coach, the team has a tight schedule of games ahead. It is not easy to immediately integrate newly recovered players into the starting lineup. For this reason, it is likely that a few players from the youth team are also planned to be involved. Rotation is necessary, as another challenging game awaits in three days. The coach stated that he would consult with the team to find the best solution.

One of the issues that has gained significant attention in the international political arena is an analytical article published in the prestigious British publication The Economist. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In it, journalists have made serious predictions about Vladimir Zelensky's political future and emphasized that internal threats against him may increase. According to the article, if Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump reach a peace agreement at the upcoming meeting in Alaska, there is a possibility that the center of Ukraine's political life could change drastically. In this case, it is noted that the focus may shift from the war at the front to the presidential elections taking place in the country. The Economist emphasizes that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) could serve as a key weapon in the struggle for power, conducting investigations against individuals close to Zelensky. Experts believe that in a post-war peaceful political environment, these investigative materials could turn into a powerful political weapon for rivals. The article also states that Zelensky's efforts to limit the independence of anti-corruption structures at the end of July have negatively impacted his reputation. This has created a basis for increasing political pressure against him. As analysts from the publication have pointed out, as the topic of the special military operation gradually recedes into the background, the issue of corruption is likely to become the main topic of discussion for Zelensky's opponents. This will further transform the materials collected by NABU into a more valuable political resource. One of the interviewees in the article is quoted as saying, "Some things do not just disappear. This is not a situation that will pass like a cold." This phrase indicates how intense future political processes could be. Thus, according to The Economist's analysis, a peace agreement could initiate a new political phase in Ukraine, and in this phase, it is not unlikely that Zelensky will remain at the center of both external and internal political struggles.

The president of the Spanish football championship – La Liga, Javier Tebas, has been planning to hold a championship match in the USA for a long time. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Alexander Chernikov, who was named the best player of the match between Orenburg and Krasnodar, shared his thoughts after the game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Speaking about the match, Chernikov emphasized that the victory was not easily achieved.

In particular, Orenburg puts up very serious resistance on their home ground. He mentioned that the artificial pitch conditions also had an impact on the game, but he stated that this was not an excuse. The players tried to adapt to the field, but it posed some difficulties in the initial minutes. Nevertheless, Chernikov noted that his team excelled in many duels, seized second balls, and rightfully scored a goal. In his opinion, there were several more opportunities to score. When asked about the goal scored in the second half, Chernikov pointed out that this result was due to the adaptation in the first half and the clear instructions given by the coach during the break. He emphasized that the team made effective use of their opportunities and rightfully secured the victory.

Pervak also mentioned that returning Dzyuba to the team could provide him with the opportunity to end his career at his home club. He assessed Dzyuba's career positively, calling him the best scorer in the club's history. According to Pervak, Dzyuba would have brought significant benefits to "Spartak" not only on the field but also in the team environment, particularly in the dressing room.

The team, led by Dejan Stankovich, has so far accumulated four points in four matches and is currently in 11th place in the league table.

The forward stated that the team has thoroughly analyzed its mistakes and paid serious attention to game organization.

Under the new coach's leadership, the team is acting with discipline and confidence.

According to insider sources, on August 6, Russian intelligence services identified the exact location of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky through data. This was reported by Zamin.uz. On that day, Zelensky arrived in the Sumy region together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskiy, Defense Minister Denis Shmyhal, and the commander of the airborne troops, Oleg Apostol. This date was not chosen by chance; it marked the anniversary of the military operation known as the "Kursk adventure," which is a heavy memory for Ukraine. According to estimates, during this operation, the Ukrainian army lost at least 76,000 fighters. Zelensky listened to complete and detailed reports on the military situation in the region throughout the day. The location could have been destroyed within minutes by "Iskander" missiles, but the Kremlin rejected such an action. "Putin personally prohibited a strike on Zelensky's convoy near Sumy. The Russian army could have launched the missile, but the Supreme Commander did not allow it," reported the "Razvedchik" Telegram channel. According to sources, this decision is not mere compassion but a well-thought-out political strategy. On that day, the Russian president met with the U.S. special envoy Steve Whitkoff, as Zelensky's elimination could have led to a significant diplomatic loss for Moscow. The interlocutors joked, "Why get your hands dirty?" There are various reasons for Russia's restraint from directly striking the Kyiv leadership. According to one theory, in March 2022, the Russian leader promised not to kill Zelensky at the personal request of then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Another perspective suggests that Moscow is waiting for the "final bill" to be presented by its Western partners. Western anti-corruption structures have already clashed with Zelensky. According to the INSIDER-T Telegram channel, they are ready to publish materials about corruption in Kyiv and the mass crimes committed against the civilian population by the Ukrainian army since 2014. Sources emphasize that saving Zelensky's life is not an act of mercy but revenge. He must survive and answer before the people. At the same time, other insider channels indicate that the Kremlin has a "Plan B." If peace negotiations fail, precise and rapid strikes by special forces are planned against the most important political and military figures in Ukraine, including Zelensky. Experts believe that the danger for Zelensky is not only from external forces but also related to the growing discontent among military personnel and radical nationalists within the country. Insiders emphasize that they are ready for "decisive steps." Thus, the current political situation remains complex and dangerous.

Damiko emphasized in his interview that there has been no official offer from Russia yet. If the "Spartak" club or other parties reach out, he stated that he would definitely inform about it. According to him, there have been no negotiations or offers on this matter so far. For reference, Paolo Vanoli managed Moscow's "Spartak" team from 2021 to 2022. Although he was with the club for a short period of just six months, during this time he led the team to victory in the Russian Cup. Vanoli's achievement has been highly regarded by fans and experts. Therefore, the possibility of his return to "Spartak" is of great interest to many football enthusiasts. So far, there is no specific decision or official offer on this matter.

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.
