The Brazilian was pleased to see his team earn a hard fought 2-0 win away from home against Newcastle United.
Despite having to dig in against the Magpies, Paqueta was pleased to see them grab all the points on Monday night thanks to Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka goals.
"I am tired, too," the Spaniard quipped to Sky Sports post-game.
"You have to run. If you want to compete in the Premier League, you have to run a lot. You have to play a lot. You always have to do a lot of good things.
"I always demand to run and to play. To press, to defend, to attack. For that, you need to have a high rhythm. Above all, against this kind of team, they demand a lot."
