Marked for Emad El Sayed

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad4 Jan 2027

A one-man rearguard from Emad El Sayed

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match2 Jan 2027

A hiding for Al Gaish

Beaten 0‑3 by Al Ahly, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market4 Jan 2027

Hassan Magdy hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Al Gaish can pretend not to have heard.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Collins Fai in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al Gaish this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Karim Tarek

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Karim Tarek, and the manager let it.

Boardroom4 Jan 2027

Nobody left the Al Gaish dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match18 Nov 2026

The cup run ends for Al Gaish

2‑3 against Ghazl El Mahalla, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Ahmed Ali scores twice — 8.15

Two goals and a mark of 8.15 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Emad El Sayed

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Facundo Pumpido, 38, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Collins Fai in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al Gaish this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Nov 2026

Al Gaish see off Military Production

Three points for Al Gaish, 1‑0 the final word against Military Production in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words at Al Gaish training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohanad Mohamed is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nothing got past Ali Hamdi

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 15 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Mohamed Magdy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A one-man rearguard from Emad El Sayed

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Gaish

Collins Fai was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Rashid Sumaila

22 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Karim Tarek

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Al Gaish training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Camacho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
