Thomas Partey received a mixed reaction from Villarreal fans while making his Liga debut for the club on Friday.
First half of the goals of Etta Eyong and Pape Gueye gave Marcelin's silk a comfortable lead against an Oviedo side that had been reduced to ten men in their season opener.
With the game on the way to the final phase, Parey got his competitive debut, which came up as a replacement for Santi Comesana with less than ten minutes.
While Pedey went on the field in the Estadi de la Ceramica, whistles from Jingering -Fans mixed with applause.
Everywhere in his cameo, Pedey was also met with anger and calling from a few supporters when he was at the ball.
The 32-year-old appeared last week at Westminster Magistrates' Court to see several rape costs, including five counts of rape and one of sexual violence before he received bail.
The midfielder is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against the other. The accusation of sexual violence relates to a third woman, said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) last week.
The charges only came four days after Partey's contract with the Emirates had expired on 31 June.
After having granted bail, the Ghanaese was able to complete his free transfer to Villarreal, which has since been the subject of important controversy as a result of the relocation.
Despite the furore surrounding the move, Villarreal President Fernando Roig certainly hit back on the criticism aimed at the new signing of the club.
'The player is currently undergoing legal proceedings. He maintains his innocence and denies the charges against him, “Roig said after Parey was booed during a collision for the season with Aston Villa.
'The club maintains the suspicion of innocence, and it will be the responsibility of the English courts to clarify the facts. We have shown our values with all kinds of activities for years.
'We respect the suspicion of innocence and of course condemn any form of violence, either inside or outside of football.
'At the moment, Pareny is just as innocent as the rest of us here. A fundamental right if this must be respected. '
When asked about anger aimed at his new player, Roig added: 'English [Aston Villa fans] Flute the peidey. Not the Villarreal fans.
'I don't want our own fans to whistle players in our team. We have to stand with the team and respect the suspicion of innocence. He is not a convicted player.
“We must be careful and wait for justice. Let us not assess prematurely. Thomas has the right to do his work until there is a conviction. '
Partey, who will defend itself before the court in London next month, is forbidden to contact one of the three women involved in the case, according to the Bailing Conditions.
