Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Salah Mohsen at 21 — 9.93

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Salah Mohsen did not need any: 9.93, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

3 goals for Salah Mohsen

The match ball belongs to Salah Mohsen, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

A brace, and Mohamed Tarek takes the afternoon — 8.13

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mohamed Tarek provided it, and the 8.13 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Masr El Makasa turn down Arab Contractors for Amr Ashour

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

Match

Salah Mohsen sends Masr El Makasa past Police Union

It finished 5‑3, and it was Salah Mohsen’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Masr El Makasa.

Match

Salah Mohsen among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Salah Mohsen on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Masr El Makasa and Police Union.

Squad

A row about effort at Masr El Makasa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Salah Mohsen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Tempers go at Masr El Makasa

Hady Reyad 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.

The terraces

Masr El Makasa supporters have found a favourite in Emad Gabr

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Emad Gabr has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Words exchanged at Masr El Makasa

Walid Zaki 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.

A row about effort at Masr El Makasa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Salah Mohsen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Mohamed Kahraba attracts admirers

The name of Mohamed Kahraba has come up in conversations Masr El Makasa were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Kauã is in the works

Masr El Makasa have made the call to Criciuma. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Masr El Makasa try to borrow Ahmed Menshawi

Ittihad have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Ali Gabr knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ali Gabr trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Emad Aboutrika is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Masr El Makasa has been clear about where Emad Aboutrika stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

The Walid Zaki question follows Masr El Makasa around

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

Squad

Mohamed Tarek handed the armband

The captaincy goes to Mohamed Tarek. It is not a job that wins matches, but a dressing room always notices who is given it.
