葡萄牙媒体报道，在葡萄牙迎战挪威的前一日的新闻发布会上，葡萄牙足球协会发布规定，严禁国际记者针对主教练若热·热苏斯及球员B费就C罗事宜进行提问。
挪威传媒人士在向国家队教练团提出首问时，话题便聚焦于C罗，葡萄牙足球协会的新闻发言人随即明确表示：“禁止提及C罗相关议题。”
Moreover, a number of Portuguese national publications, including the 'Record', were denied the chance to pose questions to Jesus and B Fe. This was due to the fact that the press conference was allocated to international media first, and by the time the domestic media were able to step in for their allotted Q&A, the allotted time for questioning had already been exhausted. Despite the on-site journalist from 'Record' making two attempts to signal the press officer for a question, the request was not granted.
