After the controversy, Lucas Paqueta scored, and West Ham beat Chelsea in the Premier League
understand the situation
Lucas Paqueta, the player who accumulates invites to the Brazilian national team, is under investigation over a UK sports betting abuse scheme. After all, he would have been shown a yellow card in the match against Aston Villa, on March 12, in the English Premier League, last season.
But the case drew attention to an unusual number of identical bets that included a match in the Spanish Championship, involving Luis Henrique, of Real Betis, and a match for Paqueta’s team. Like the West Ham player, Luis Henrique will also have to receive a yellow card, which he did.
Paquita of choice
In addition to the investigation that blocked a possible move from West Ham to Manchester City, Lucas Paqueta was also out of the Brazilian national team’s call-up. Coach Fernando Diniz has confirmed that he will call up the midfielder for the playoffs. But because of the question, the coach preferred to keep him out of the matches.
