Lucas Paqueta is enjoying playing as a striker

Lucas Paqueta, who currently plays for West Ham United, said he enjoys filling the team's forward position. In the match against Aston Villa, Lucas Paqueta was the best player of the match and helped the team overcome injuries and draw 1-1 with the opponent away.  

Due to the injury problems facing the team, Jarrod Bowen, Clissoncio Somerville, Niklas Fulkrug and Michail Antonio will miss the game. As a result, West Ham United has been able to use Lucas Paqueta and Mohamed Kudus in unfamiliar attacking roles in the past few games.  

Lucas Paqueta said: "We played well. I think we could have scored more goals, but the team's performance was really good. We will continue to work hard to play well in the future. I did my best for the team and I like playing as a striker."  

“It’s a new position for me but I’ve been trying to listen to the coach and help the team as much as I can. I was very happy to see Emerson Palmieri score, he did a great job, it was a beautiful goal and I’m very happy for him.”  

Lucas Paqueta has been in great form since Graham Potter took over, scoring in his first two games in charge. In the recent game in the West Midlands, Lucas Paqueta's performance caught the attention of fans and critics.  

Lucas Paqueta said: "The manager, Graham Potter, has brought new ideas to the team, and they are very good ideas. We are trying to improve week after week and I think we are starting to see the rewards. Now, we need to recover, start again and try to get more points in the next game."  

"We need to stay optimistic and have hope for the future. We will have more exciting games. Therefore, we must work hard in training and hope that the players can recover from their injuries as soon as possible, become stronger and stronger, and continue to do their best for the team."
