French goalkeeper Mike Maignan has been appointed as the new captain of the 'Milan' team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This was announced by the team's head coach Massimiliano Allegri at a press conference. Maignan became the first foreign player to wear the captain's armband for the "rossoneri" since the 1960s. The last foreign captain was Swedish player Nils Lidholm, who defended the club's honor from 1949 to 1961. Maignan had previously taken the field as a captain, having led the team several times last season and was third in the hierarchy of captains. The first two captains, Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez, left the team during the summer transfer window. The current contract between Maignan and 'Milan' is set to last until the summer of 2026. Earlier, there were reports that London club 'Chelsea' showed interest in the French national team goalkeeper.

Social networks and special groups in Uzbekistan, particularly the “Potrebitel.uz” team, are noting a sharp increase in complaints about the instability of electricity supply among the capital's residents. This was reported by Upl.uz. Long outages and cases of expensive household appliances breaking down due to sharp voltage fluctuations have almost become a daily occurrence. An analysis of the situation shows that the city's energy infrastructure, mainly created in the last century, is operating at the limits of its capabilities. The existing transformer substations and cable networks do not meet the demands of a modern large city. The problem is exacerbating as urban construction accelerates. A large number of residential and commercial complexes are being built throughout Tashkent, which is putting additional pressure on outdated networks, often leading to their deterioration. Against this backdrop, experts and the public are raising the issue of imposing a temporary moratorium on new constructions. This measure aims to provide the necessary time for a deep modernization of the city's energy system and to expand capacities. The logic of the proposal is that the pace of urban development must be aligned with the capabilities of the infrastructure. Official comments from responsible agencies such as the capital's administration and the “Regional Electric Networks” joint-stock company are currently not uniform. While technical difficulties are acknowledged, they often emphasize the complexity of replacing equipment under conditions of long-term investments and dense urban construction. The speed of construction work remains in conflict with global experience. For example, in the USA, any major construction project goes through an agreement phase with energy companies regarding power adequacy. Often, the issuance of a construction permit is linked to the obligation to financially contribute to the expansion of networks. This practice helps to prevent systemic problems, such as those currently arising in Tashkent. Tashkent faces a strategic choice: continue the pace of construction, exacerbating the energy crisis and social tension, or halt permits for new facilities and adapt the infrastructure to the city's needs. Electricity losses are directly related to the load levels of the networks. When the nominal load is exceeded, losses increase not linearly but in a squared manner. This means, for example, that increasing the network load by 20 percent raises energy losses by 44 percent. As a result, wires and equipment overheat, accelerating their wear and increasing the risk of accidents.

Markus Rashford, who has joined the new Barcelona team, will have to compete with Raphinha Dias for a spot in the starting lineup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The Brazilian player is the first choice of head coach Hans-Dieter Flick on the left wing of the attack, while the English player is seen as a backup option. Last season, there was almost no alternative to Raphinha in the "blue-burgundy" team, but now with Rashford's arrival, the coach will provide the 28-year-old star with more rest opportunities. Barcelona has loaned Markus Rashford from Manchester United until the end of the 2025/26 season and also has the option to buy the player for 30 million euros. An official announcement about the agreement is expected to be made on Wednesday. This transfer will serve to strengthen the team's attacking line and provide the coach with additional tactical options. With Rashford's arrival, Barcelona is expected to play more actively and effectively in attack.

Next season, Kylian Mbappe will play under a new number in the "Real" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Radio Marca, Mbappe has not expressed any intention to change his playing number. The decision to assign the new number was made by the club. The main reason for this is that the "Real" team expects to generate good revenue from the sale of new jerseys bearing Kylian's name. In recent years, "Real" has achieved significant financial success, and they recently reported record earnings. Thus, in the new season, Mbappe's game and new number will be of significant importance to the club not only in sports but also economically.
