Lucas Paqueta did not hesitate to express emotions after an independent committee declared that four allegations of violating betting regulations of the British Football Federation (FA) could not be proven.
“The enemy will come to us in a road, but they will run after seven different paths,” the first sentence in Paqueta's Instagram post, led the Bible, and uniformed the law signing 28: 7.
Currently in the US during a seasonal trip with West Ham, Paqueta was announced by his legal team on the ruling on July 25, so he had enough time to prepare for feedback. No need to be a theology can guess who is the “enemy” that he is talking about.
With Paqueta, 27 years old, news on July 31 was a vindication. When the information about the FA's investigation broke out in August 2023, the whole West Ham team held an internal meeting without coach David Moyes and the coaching staff. According to those present, Paqueta cried and asserted that he was innocent, feeling FA deliberately targeting him.
Midfielder Edson Alvarez has spoken out strongly, saying that he will protect the Brazilian teammate on the field if anyone deliberately plays badly. Seven months later, in West Ham's 5-0 victory over Freiburg in the second leg of the Europa League round, Paqueta ran to hug Alvarez after scoring the score to show gratitude.
His best friend Emerson Palmieri, a defender in Brazil, wore a Italian team, also planned to hold a gathering session to encourage the spirit. However, Paqueta did not want to attract attention so the plan was canceled. However, that action showed the trust that his teammates had for him.
