Post: Paqueta is exhausted by the counterfeit shot, West Ham is worried that his mental state will not be able to play

May 8th According to the Daily Mail, the counterfeiting case made Paqueta exhausted, and West Ham was worried that his mental state was not suitable for playing.

It is reported that Paqueta may miss the rest of West Ham's game this season due to excessive psychological pressure on the counterfeiting case. The 27-year-old Brazilian midfielder collapsed and shed tears after being shown a yellow card in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham last Sunday. His wife said their family had been suffering from this "nightmare" for two years.

Last month, media reported that Ropaqueta's fake ball hearing failed to end within the original three weeks and he had to wait weeks to continue. Paqueta is trying to prove that he did not deliberately receive a yellow card to affect the betting results, and if convicted, he will face a life ban. It now seems that the case may have put so much pressure on his mental state that he may not be able to compete in the remaining three Premier League games this season. Captain Bowen and referee Michael Oliver comforted him after Paqueta was shown a yellow card in Sunday's game. He was then replaced by coach Graham Porter. According to sources, the case put a huge burden on Paqueta's spirit, although he has always insisted that he is innocent. West Ham executives are considering giving him a break in the next game until the end of the season, and the case is not expected to reach a conclusion until the summer.

Paqueta is accused of deliberately receiving yellow cards in four Premier League games, including 2022 against Leicester City and the next year against Leeds United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Paqueta's wife Maria Edulda Fournier posted on Instagram to defend her husband, saying that the family had "been endured the nightmare for two years." West Ham coach Graham Porter said after the game that Paqueta's tears were caused by frustration.

In response to this, Porter said: "I think he just tried his best to make things better, but maybe a little frustrated. He is an imperfect person, but I love him so much. He gave everything in difficult situations."
