Ahmed Said has improved at 31, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 4 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

ENPPI promote Ramadan Soliman from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ramadan Soliman has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

El Sayed Soliman steps up from the ENPPI academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. El Sayed Soliman has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
