Market20 Aug 2029

ENPPI say no — this time

The offer from Sheffield United for Fares Fakhri was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market20 Aug 2029

Ibrahim Adel 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.

Match18 Aug 2029

ENPPI make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now ENPPI have 4 straight wins of it.

Market20 Aug 2029

Sobhy Soliman has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around ENPPI they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom20 Aug 2029

Karim El Wensh signs on for the long haul

ENPPI moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Karim El Wensh, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad20 Aug 2029

A falling-out at ENPPI

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

Boardroom20 Aug 2029

8 academy players handed senior numbers at ENPPI

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad20 Aug 2029

Emad Tarek 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 targets20 Aug 2029

Door shut on Nikita Stoinov

ENPPI asked and Astra said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Emad Mayhoub 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 dugout23 Apr 2029

Ibrahim Ayoola 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.

Market23 Apr 2029

Talks stall between ENPPI and David Benjamin

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Mody Naser 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.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Salah Zayid gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Salah Zayid is on it.

Market23 Apr 2029

The Body Samir question follows ENPPI around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Body Samir’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Ahmed Shadad has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at ENPPI that is a harder question to answer.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

The manager makes Kelvin Leku a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at ENPPI. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

In brief

  • Squad Ibrahim Adel is not doing himself any favours
  • Match Nothing left to play for but pride at ENPPI

Squad28 Aug 2028

A fracture rules Mohamed Hathout out for 74 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason ENPPI will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market28 Aug 2028

ENPPI turn down Aswan for Ahmed Kalosha

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market28 Aug 2028

Mohamed Tarek has said yes to Haras El Hodoud

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. ENPPI have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market28 Aug 2028

Khaled Ramadan 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.

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

Mohamed Makhlouf goes up and wins it — 7.91

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.91 for the rest of it.

The dugout28 Aug 2028

Youssef Sabra: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” ENPPI have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Ibrahim Adel arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Ibrahim Adel has, at ENPPI, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market28 Aug 2028

Abdelaziz El Zoghbi is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at ENPPI is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Real improvement from Mohab Samy at ENPPI

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mohab Samy is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

In brief
