Moroccan Noureddine Amrabat, the first football player of the Saudi Al-Nasr Club, stressed that he did not compromise the management of his club to reduce his salary, in light of the clubs ’tendency to reduce expenses to face the crisis of the new epidemic of Corona virus (Covid-19) spreading in the world.

On his team and the closest players to him, Amrabat said, "Many, all of them friends, in the field, I like playing with Abdel-Razzaq Hamdallah, and he is also my brother off the field.
