Al-Nassr management has forbidden players and the coach from giving interviews before and after the match against Al-Riyadh (1:0) in the Saudi Arabian League.
This is reported by A Bola.
Neither head coach Jorge Jesus nor the players of the Saudi Arabian club fulfilled their usual media obligations before and after the match. The Portuguese coach did not attend the traditional flash interviews before Saudi League matches, as well as the post-match press conference after the game against Al-Riyadh.
Saudi media reports that Jorge Jesus apologized for not attending the post-match press conference.
Al-Nassr's refusal to hold a press conference may cost the coach more than 6,700 euros.
This happened against the backdrop of a boycott by Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who is dissatisfied with the club's game and refused to play in the match against Al-Riyadh.

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in Al-Nassr's squad for the 20th round of the Saudi Arabian Pro League against Al-Riyadh.
Idman.Biz reports that the match will be held today at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In the team lineup published by Al-Nassr's press service, the Portuguese striker was not listed in either the starting lineup or as a substitute. Ronaldo started in all of Al-Nassr's previous 19 games in the 2025/2026 season.
It was previously reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is dissatisfied with the club's management by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) and has threatened to boycott games.
