West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta: Let's make Euro history

West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta says it's time to make history.

Paqueta and his Hammers teammates go to AZ Alkmaar tomorrow night's for the second-leg of their Europa Conference League semifinal defending a 2-1 aggregate lead.

“We'll do everything to win this semi-final because it's our chance to get a trophy and make history for the Club," Paquetá enthused.

“I'm happy. I feel more and more adapted to the team, I understand the players on the field. I think it's important to have this rapport and understanding the other players, and your teammates."

Of his pre-match routine, Paqueta also told whufc.com: “Like the other matches, there are some things I usually do. I pray, I ask for help, and I thank God beforehand, that's something I do a lot. I ask for help, but I say thanks at the same time. Because, this way, I believe God will bless me and everything will always work out.

“When I get to the field, I ask God to make me happy, so that I can make the most of the gift he's given me. He's got the rest."
