Not long ago, Brazil international Guimaraes was interviewed by ESPN and talked about the national teammate Paqueta who was previously charged by the FA for suspected betting on football, but has recently been officially acquitted.

Guimaraes said: "If I were in his position, I felt that I could not stand it. The torment he experienced, I don't know what will happen next, your career is in the hands of others, which is a completely uncontrollable feeling."

"We often met and chatted from the beginning when things were exposed. I don't know if we could reveal too many details now, but we kept in touch from the beginning. I, he, my wife and his wife, we have been communicating and supporting. We always try our best to give him strength and positive energy. We always believe in Paqueta, Believe him and believe in him as my brother. "

"We also often eat together, trying to get him out of the world of football and relax. Because, as you said, it took two years, but for him, it was like a lifetime of life."

"That time was really hard, we accompanied him through a lot of tears and anxiety, but there was also the great joy that came with winning the hearing. This experience made our friendship deeper. "

"Now, I see the Paqueta, who I once knew in flamenco and Lyon."
