Squad

Real improvement from Nour Ashraf at ENPPI

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nour Ashraf is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A falling-out at ENPPI

Ahmed Sabeha and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

ENPPI find a way past Al Gaish

Al Gaish made ENPPI work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Kahraba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

The half-term report on ENPPI

Position 11, 20 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Player ratings

Mohamed Hathout stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.91 on the card, and the ENPPI support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Mostafa Hamdi, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad

Player of the week: Kahraba

Somebody watched every match in the division at the weekend and decided he was the best thing in any of them. A small honour, and most careers end without one.

The dugout

Reda El Sayed 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.

In brief

Market

Arab Contractors come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and ENPPI did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Ammar Hamdy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ammar Hamdy and ENPPI agree another 4 years.

Squad

Rafik Kabou 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 ENPPI this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

ENPPI rebuffed over Moses Moffi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Liberty Professionals have kept their man, and ENPPI go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Bassem Ashour steps up from the ENPPI academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bassem Ashour has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Ali Ghaly joins the ENPPI first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ali Ghaly is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Walid Mohsen steps up from the ENPPI academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Walid Mohsen has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ahmed Kofta

“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.

The dugout

Ammar Hamdy asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
