Match

Masr El Makasa let it slip despite Salah Ashour

Salah Ashour had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Zamalek were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Squad

El Sayed Aboutrika breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Bassem Mohsen keeps Masr El Makasa in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Hossam Aboutrika asks to leave Masr El Makasa

“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.

Market

The Military Production deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Mohamed El Nenny reports back to Masr El Makasa with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Basem Ali 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 Masr El Makasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Mahmoud Gabr at Masr El Makasa

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mahmoud Gabr is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

A bad afternoon for Masr El Makasa against Zamalek

2‑3 to Zamalek, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

One of those days for Mahmoud Hegazi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.34, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

El Sayed Aboutrika breaks a bone — 41 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 41 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

David Idowu gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. David Idowu has just signed for Masr El Makasa, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Trezeguet Gabr at 21 — 7.66

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Trezeguet Gabr did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Mohamed El Nenny asks to leave Masr El Makasa

“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.

Squad

Bassem Mohsen 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 Masr El Makasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Masr El Makasa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Basem Ali 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.

Match

Masr El Makasa get the job done against El Dakhleya

A 2‑1 win over El Dakhleya, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Salah Ashour

Marked 8.20 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Mahmoud Hegazi

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market

$110.0K — a new record at Masr El Makasa

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Market

Masr El Makasa sell their best player to Ghazl El Mahalla

$950.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Squad

Bassem Mohsen keeps Masr El Makasa in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

A fracture rules Ahmed El Mohamady out for 22 days

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

Market

SuperSport United come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Trezeguet Gabr, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.20

A mark of 8.20 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $950.0K sale of Ibrahim Gabr

He is going to Ghazl El Mahalla, the club has $950.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Tempers go at Masr El Makasa

Basem Ali 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.

Boardroom

3 academy players handed senior numbers at Masr El Makasa

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.

Squad

A fracture rules Ahmed El Mohamady out for 37 days

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

Market

Masr El Makasa say no — this time

The offer from MC Oran for Salah Gabr 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.

Squad

Bassem Mohsen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bassem Mohsen and Masr El Makasa agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Ibrahim Gabr 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 Masr El Makasa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mahmoud Hegazi 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.

Market

Nobody at Masr El Makasa has picked up the phone to Bassem Mohsen

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
