Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, head of Al-Hilal football team, has responded to press reports that indicated a dispute with Brazilian Neymar Jr., and rejected claims of any disputes between him and the players, emphasizing that such rumors will not receive a response. 
in the press conference following the win over the Al-Jabalin in the King’s Cup Jesus spoke, “I do not like to respond to rumors. Circulating news about a crisis with Neymar is ridiculous and baseless.” Regarding Neymar’s exclusion from Al-Hilal squad against Al-Jabalain, he said: “Neymar told me that he felt tired, so I decided to exclude him because he is not ready and I have a very good relationship with him.” He continued: “Neymar will look great when he returns to his level, and we will show our attacking effectiveness with him. We have made a special schedule to fully restore his fitness.”
