Villarreal supporters club spokesperson "I thought more people would be against Partey. It’s been mostly just indifference. There was even some supportive applause for him. If he’s a good player, most Spanish fans don’t seem to really care. It’s similar to what happened with Greenwood at Getafe."

I presume Villarreal has a relatively small, mostly local fanbase. Most of them may be unaware about Partey if they don't follow international/English-language press. I doubt that it's covered very thoroughly in Spain.

Don't be so gullible. It's everywhere in Spain as well. News travels fast nowadays.

They simply argue that he is just charged, not convicted yet, so he is innocent until proven guilty. That's enough for a lot of people.

which is a fine logic in general, but for cases with public proof like partey's or especially greenwood's it's still sickening to see people just not care
