The head coach of the "Milan" team, Massimiliano Allegri, has set his plan regarding the future of midfielder Yunus Musa. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The American player did not secure a permanent place in the starting lineup of the "rossoneri" last season. Media reports suggest that the 22-year-old player may transfer to the "Napoli" club.

The German specialist had only requested two new players from the club management: a left-wing forward and a main goalkeeper.

The US officials have once again clearly stated their position in the international political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Vice President James Vance openly stated during a meeting in London with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy that there is no plan to recognize Palestine as an independent state. According to him, Washington is currently not showing any initiative in this regard and is focusing primarily on eliminating the radical HAMAS group. In his statement, Vance said: “I personally do not understand the practical aspect of recognizing the state of Palestine, as there is no real and fully authorized government there.” In his opinion, President Donald Trump has clearly defined American objectives regarding the situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The main task is to prevent HAMAS from attacking innocent Israeli civilians. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to completely eliminate the radical movement. Vance also paid special attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. President Trump emphasized that he is deeply affected by the severe situation in the region. For this reason, Washington is ready to take decisive measures to resolve this issue. In July, Trump assessed the negotiations between HAMAS and Israel as unsatisfactory. According to him, the only way to resolve the crisis quickly and effectively is for HAMAS to fully surrender. Additionally, the Israeli government approved plans to expand ground military operations in the Gaza Strip. This decision was made as a result of abandoning negotiations for the release of Israelis held hostage by HAMAS. At the same time, three countries of the "Big Seven" group — France, the United Kingdom, and Canada — expressed their intention to recognize Palestine as an independent state. This process may be formalized at the UN General Assembly expected to take place in September. Currently, 147 countries in the world recognize Palestine as a state. In 2024, the USA vetoed Palestine's full membership in the UN. Since this year, ten countries, including Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Armenia, have supported this decision. This complex situation in international politics is becoming a significant test not only for the Middle East region but also for global diplomacy.

Famous former footballer Eden Hazard mentioned the strongest opponent he faced during his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Belgian national team member Eden Hazard specifically highlighted England's “Manchester City” as the strongest rival in his interview. He recalled his matches against this team, emphasizing that “Manchester City” under the leadership of Josep Guardiola played at a very high level from 2017 to 2019. According to Hazard, it was very difficult to face “Manchester City” during that time, as the opponent hardly gave the ball to others and there was no opportunity to gain possession during the game. Hazard noted that he never played against “Barcelona” led by Lionel Messi, but acknowledged that “Manchester City” under Guardiola was one of the strongest teams. It is worth mentioning that Eden Hazard played for London’s “Chelsea” from 2012 to 2019. After that, he moved to Madrid’s “Real” but was unable to fully showcase himself due to injuries. Hazard retired from professional football in 2023.

The head coach of the "Liverpool" team, Arne Slot, shared his thoughts on midfielder Florian Wirtz's adaptation to English football. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Florian Wirtz is 22 years old and has played 197 matches in all competitions for Bayer, scoring 57 goals and providing 65 assists during that time. Arne Slot said at the press conference: "Wirtz is used to playing a game every three to four days in the German championship. However, after two months, we will need to ask him: Does the intensity of the English Premier League matches match or differ from that of the Bundesliga?" The coach emphasized that the new player will need time to adapt to the new environment. In his opinion, Wirtz's experience and performance could be beneficial for "Liverpool." The club's management and fans expect high results from him. In the new season, Florian Wirtz is expected to become one of the key players of the team.

New events are unfolding in the European political arena. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the conflict in Ukraine may soon enter a new phase. He emphasized that while the war has not fully ended, it is likely to freeze sooner than expected. Tusk recently stated that he had been in contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He mentioned that although Zelensky is approaching the situation cautiously, he remains hopeful and optimistic. The Polish leader also highlighted that Ukraine is interested in actively cooperating with European countries in future agreements. Zelensky provided information about his conversation with Tusk on his social media, but did not disclose the key aspects of the discussion. This week, the Ukrainian president communicated via phone with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and other European leaders. At the end of the conversations, officials issued brief statements confirming continued support for Ukraine. Attention is also being drawn to Donald Trump's mediation efforts. The European Union's Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Anitta Hipper, specifically noted that Russia does not genuinely want peace. On August 6, Donald Trump spoke with European leaders and provided information about the results of his special envoy Stephen Witkoff's visit to Moscow. The Washington Post, citing sources, reported that the preparation for a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is causing concern in Europe. According to sources, while determination and discipline are expected from Trump, he is not attempting to exert pressure on the Russian leader. A high-ranking official in Ukraine expressed hope anonymously that if a ceasefire is achieved in the air attacks, even if there is no peace on land as a preliminary step, it would be a significant achievement. However, he acknowledged that the agreements are merely tactics employed by Russia to placate Trump. The Washington Post source emphasized that trust between the parties has completely eroded. Currently, there is both concern and hope among European and Ukrainian leaders. That is, how the situation in Ukraine will change in the coming weeks and how the positions of Europe and the USA will shape is at the center of attention. The proximity of a real solution to the issue of freezing the conflict will become clear in the coming days.

"Barcelona" football club midfielder Lamin Yamal addressed his teammate Inyigo Martines. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

There are changes in the player numbers at the “Real” football club this summer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Kylian Mbappe will now take the field wearing the number 10 jersey. This number previously belonged to Luka Modric. As a result, the number 9 has become vacant. Earlier, there were reports that the club management might give the number 9 to Gonzalo Garcia. Gonzalo Garcia had performed well in last year's Club World Cup. However, new information has emerged. According to new information, the number 9 will go to another forward – 19-year-old Endrik. Endrik previously played under the number 16 for “Real.” He also stands out with his talent in the Brazil national team. Endrik has participated in 37 matches for “Real” so far. In these matches, he has scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist. The club management and coaching staff believe that he will continue to benefit the team in the future. Thus, the player numbers for the new season have been determined for the “Real” team.

Former president of the “Spartak” football club Andrey Chervichenko criticized the club's sports director Fransis Kahigao's activities. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Kahigao is purchasing players who are not beneficial for the club. Chervichenko emphasized that this situation was particularly evident in the match against “Akron”. He stated that the new players of “Spartak” did not fully demonstrate themselves and the money spent on them did not justify itself. The players of “Akron” showed that they are no less capable than the new “Spartak” players Liva Garcia and Jedson Fernandes. This has been a significant loss for the club, says Chervichenko. According to reports, Liva Garcia joined “Spartak” for 18.7 million euros in the winter of 2025. For Jedson Fernandes, the Moscow club paid 20.7 million euros this summer. This amount does not include bonuses. In the match against “Akron”, “Spartak” conceded a goal in the final minutes and managed to earn only one point. The game ended with a score of 1:1. Thus, it can be seen that the money spent on the club's new players has not justified itself so far. Experts are evaluating this situation as a serious problem.

Former "Barcelona" midfielder Xavi expressed his support for the club's goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is known that ter Stegen is currently facing a problematic situation with the club. The "Barcelona" management wants to part ways with the goalkeeper, but ter Stegen does not plan to leave the team. Xavi has shared his thoughts on the situation regarding ter Stegen at the club and emphasized that he has always been exemplary. Previously, ter Stegen had refused to sign the medical conclusion from the club doctors. As a result, "Barcelona" is facing difficulties in registering new players. Additionally, La Liga officials have confirmed that no disciplinary actions will be taken against the goalkeeper by the club. This situation has further complicated the relationship between the club and the player. Ter Stegen, however, remains firm in his position and does not want to leave the team. Xavi continues to recognize him as a professional and loyal player.

The goalkeeper of the "Barcelona" football club, Marc-André ter Stegen, is facing a disagreement with the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It has been revealed that he was temporarily stripped of the captaincy due to refusing to sign a medical report regarding his injury. This incident has caused a conflict between the player and the club. Previously, former "Barcelona" player and coach Xavi supported Ter Stegen by leaving a comment on social media. However, Xavi quickly deleted this comment, but the incident did not go unnoticed on the internet. A few months ago, reports circulated that Hans-Dieter Flick did not see Ter Stegen as the main goalkeeper. Nevertheless, Ter Stegen did not agree to move to another club. Shortly after, the player underwent surgery due to problems in his back. Currently, the player and the club have differing opinions regarding his recovery period. For this reason, Marc-André ter Stegen refused to sign the medical report regarding his injury. The player also issued an official statement on this matter. You can find more details in our news.

In the next round of the Russian championship, “Dinamo” Makhachkala and “Akron” teams faced each other. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The team has played five matches (four in the Russian Premier League and one in the Russian Cup) and has shown stable results. In today’s match, the “Akron” players performed well in the second half, increasing pressure on the opponent and achieving an important draw. Several players from the team stood out during the match. For example, Konstantin Savichev acted reliably in defense, winning all duels and leaving no opportunities for the opponent. He committed two fouls during the match, but this did not negatively affect his overall performance. Additionally, Benshimol came on the field for a short time and became the author of an important goal, bringing the team to a draw. He equalized the score with his only shot and actively participated in the attack. Artem Dzyuba was recognized as the best player of the match. He was active throughout the game, organized several dangerous attacks, and provided assists for his teammates to score. He also won many aerial balls and earned five free kicks from the opponent. Thus, the “Akron” team once again demonstrated its character and secured an important point.

After the match between Dinamo Makhachkala and Akron, Jemal Tabidze, who was named the best player of the match, shared his thoughts. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Speaking about the match, Tabidze emphasized that the game was very tough. According to him, the opposing team was strong and thought they could maintain the score after the first goal was scored. However, football is such a sport that one should not be limited to just one goal. Even if the score is 1:0, it is necessary to continue attacking and try to score again. In Tabidze's opinion, it was precisely this aspect that prevented the team from securing a victory, and the match ended in a draw. In the second half, the opposing team increased their attacks and pushed forward. When asked if he thought Dinamo lacked strength in this situation, Tabidze stated that this situation was more related to psychology. When the score is 1:0, it seems easy to maintain the result, but football does not work that way. After the score was equalized, there were opportunities to score again, but luck did not smile upon them. Additionally, Jemal Tabidze also commented on his struggle with Artyom Dzyuba. He stated that Dzyuba is a very experienced and strong player who has made a significant contribution to Russian football. Tabidze currently considers Dzyuba to be one of the best forwards in the championship. Although Dzyuba was not given many opportunities during the match, he tried to find his chances.

The head coach of the "Liverpool" football club, Arne Slot, announced which positions the team plans to strengthen. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, there is complete satisfaction with the attacking line. However, efforts are ongoing to reinforce the defense and midfield. Arne Slot emphasized that the club is constantly exploring opportunities in the transfer market, with particular attention being paid to attracting new players for the defense and midfield. It is worth noting that "Liverpool" holds the title of English champions. However, there was no opportunity to win other trophies in the 2024/2025 season. A tragic event occurred at the club on July 3 of this year. As a result of a traffic accident in Spain, Portuguese forward Diogo Jota passed away. His number has been permanently retired from the team roster. This incident was a significant loss for "Liverpool" fans and the football community. The club's management and coaching staff stated that they will continue efforts to improve the team's results in the future.

Former football player Igor Kolivanov expressed his opinion about the "Zenit" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, recently the St. Petersburg club has been facing difficulties in breaking through opponents' defenses. Kolivanov emphasized that especially when Aleksandr Sobolev enters the field and the game becomes simpler, Zenit's attacks start to become more effective. He noted that in such situations, the number of dangerous situations increases due to crosses from the wings. In Kolivanov's opinion, Aleksandr Sobolev could be included in the starting lineup for Zenit's next game. The match will take place as part of the next round of the Russian championship. The clash between "Zenit" and "Akmat" is scheduled to start on August 9 at 20:30. The match will be held at the stadium in Grozny. Football fans can follow all the details of this game in text format. It should be noted that although "Zenit" has gathered high-level players, they have been facing problems in breaking through the opponent's defense in recent games. The inclusion of Aleksandr Sobolev leads to a simplification of the attack and the emergence of effective situations.

Starting from September 1, 2025, a number of changes aimed at simplifying labor processes and increasing the effectiveness of control will come into effect. This was reported by Upl.uz. The press service of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided this information.

PSG club and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma have failed to reach an agreement on the terms of a new contract. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. For this reason, the Paris team is expected to announce a new goalkeeper transfer soon. Luka Chevalier is expected to join the club. It is said that he is being considered specifically as the main goalkeeper. Donnarumma is planned to be sold, as there is interest in the 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper. According to a report by journalist Ben Jacobs from Transfer News Live, PSG is aiming to make 30 million euros from the sale of Donnarumma. The relatively low price set for Donnarumma is due to his current contract expiring next summer. For this reason, the club is trying to sell the goalkeeper now to generate income. Changes in the goalkeeper lineup of PSG are expected in the new season.

Apple presented its new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

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.

According to the President's decree, the ToshTech Technical University will be established in Tashkent city. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This new higher education institution will play an important role in developing modern engineering knowledge in our country and training competitive specialists. According to the decree, the university will have full independence in academic, financial, and organizational management matters. This will allow the educational process to be organized in accordance with international standards.

From the next year, that is, the 2026-2027 academic year, bachelor's degree programs will begin operating at the university. Students will have the opportunity to receive education in modern subjects. Additionally, from the 2027-2028 academic year, master's and postgraduate programs will also be gradually introduced. Studying at the university will be organized on the basis of state grants and tuition contracts. Classes will be conducted not only in Uzbek but also in foreign languages. This will enable students to gain international experience and expand their knowledge further. The most important aspect is that all students admitted by the 2029-2030 academic year will receive completely free education based on state grants. Through this initiative, ToshTech Technical University will play a significant role in enhancing the engineering and research potential of our country, as well as creating new opportunities for young people (source: zamin.uz).
