Market

Ziad Kamal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at ENPPI, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

6 matches without a win for ENPPI

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around ENPPI are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at ENPPI

Rafik Kabou 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.

Squad

100 goals in the shirt for Kahraba

100 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.

Match

A bad afternoon for ENPPI against Al Ahly

1‑2 to Al Ahly, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Body Samir 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.

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.

The dugout

Ali El Mohamady: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market

No place for Mohab Samy in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Mohab Samy has his answer from ENPPI; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Ziad Kamal 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 ENPPI can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Rafik Kabou was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

The step up is real for Fares Fakhri

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

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.

Match

ENPPI come up short against Smouha

Smouha left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at ENPPI training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kahraba 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.

The dugout

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 0‑2 Ali El Mohamady left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Hamed Abdallah

“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

Ziad Kamal knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at ENPPI, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Ahmed Khaled

ENPPI and Zamalek have settled on $160.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Mohab Samy asks to leave ENPPI

“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.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 11 in, 6 out at ENPPI

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 6 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

Lebogang Billiat due for a ENPPI medical

Everything agreed with SuperSport United, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Patrick Asamoah rejects the move

ENPPI had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at WAFA, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at ENPPI

Rafik Kabou 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.

Transfer targets

ENPPI rebuffed over Malibongwe Khoza

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

Squad

Words at ENPPI training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mody Naser 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.

Squad

Player of the month: Kahraba

Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order ENPPI prefer.
