The president of Villareal calls for Thomas Partey’s support during the legal proceedings
Fernando Roig, the president of Villarreal, has urged unity and tolerance while midfielder Thomas Partey deals with persistent legal issues in England. The Ghanaian international, Roig emphasized, is innocent until proven guilty and should be allowed to carry on with his professional responsibilities without hindrance.
While we wait for justice, we must exercise caution. Do not make snap judgments. Roig stated that Thomas is entitled to continue working until a conviction is reached. Partey is just as innocent right now as the rest of us. One must respect such a fundamental right.
Regarding previous instances where Partey was whistled at during an English match, the Villarreal manager clarified that the club’s supporters were not the source of such outbursts.
Partey whistled in English. The Villarreal supporters, no. Players on our team shouldn’t be whistled at by our own supporters. The team must be our ally. Roig went on, “He is not a convicted player.”
Roig made these remarks as Villarreal gets ready for a pivotal stretch of games. The team is committed to keeping its attention on the field while upholding due process off it.
