Marked for Bashar Ashraf

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

A brace, and Stephen Odey takes the afternoon — 8.97

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Stephen Odey provided it, and the 8.97 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Ismaily

Canaria and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Bashar Ashraf is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match12 Dec 2026

Another one collected away from home

4 on the bounce on the road for Ismaily. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words at Ismaily training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Isaac Success 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.

Match12 Dec 2026

Ismaily find a way past Haras El Hodoud

Haras El Hodoud made Ismaily work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces14 Dec 2026

One of their own: Ibrahim El Nagaawy

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Ahmed Adel

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

Match12 Dec 2026

Ismaily hit back inside 1 minutes

Haras El Hodoud held the lead for 1 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Ismaily answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Ismaily

Éric Traoré 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Bashar Ashraf is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Isaac Success 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Ghazl El Mahalla take the points off Ismaily

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Abdallah Mohamed

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

Loan watch21 Sep 2026

Hassan Saber counts the days

“I watch every Ismaily game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at El Dakhleya runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Ramadan Sobhi left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad21 Sep 2026

6 new faces, and Ismaily are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market21 Sep 2026

Ismaily put Mohamed Hassan up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Mohamed Hassan may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad14 Sep 2026

8 saves: Ahmed Adel was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market14 Sep 2026

Only the photograph left for Mohamed Zidan

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mohamed Zidan will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ismaily the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market14 Sep 2026

Bashar Ashraf asks to leave Ismaily

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Hamada Salah at Ismaily

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Hamada Salah is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Isaac Success 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 Ismaily this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Éric Traoré 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.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Bragantino tell Ismaily: Rodriguinho is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match12 Sep 2026

Ismaily share the spoils with ENPPI

A 1‑1 draw with ENPPI leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Mohamed Ammar 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.
