""He is not OK. He is suffering, he is disappointed and upset. But he realises the mistake that he made and he is willing to move forward. Sometimes people are not aware of the problems that football players endure. But I think [he] is going to overcome this situation. "I think it [the investigation] is affecting him but he is willing to move forward, to try and put this aside and continue to play football in the way that he does.""
""I spoke with Lucas, and he spoke not only with me but with all his team-mates," Nuno said. "He apologised. He's aware of his mistakes. Sometime the emotions, you can't control them, but at the same time, everybody has a chance [to make up for it].""
"After the match, Paqueta took to X to respond to criticism of his "ridiculous behaviour", stating his actions were a "reflection of everything I have had to endure" during a near two-year Football Association investigation into spot-fixing charges."
Lucas Paquetá received two yellow cards for dissent late in West Ham's 2-0 defeat by Liverpool and apologised to his teammates. Paquetá posted on X responding to criticism, calling his actions a "reflection of everything I have had to endure" amid a near two-year FA investigation into alleged spot-fixing. Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed Paquetá apologised, acknowledged his mistake, and said the player is suffering, disappointed and upset. The FA began investigating in August 2023, charged him in May, and an independent regulatory commission cleared him in June. The club will provide support as he seeks to move forward.
