I found this interesting on Le Fee - a fairly complex character it seems:
Roma midfielder Enzo Le Fée has laid himself bare in an interview on the “Free FOOT” YouTube channel, during which he addresses various topics, from his move from Rennes to Roma to the death of his father. Here are his words:
On the reasons that led him to leave Rennes.
“This summer I actually didn’t really have any intention of changing teams, I was happy at Rennes, even if I had a bit of difficulty feeling at home. This is because already at the start of last season, with Bruno Genesio, things didn’t go as planned and because I felt I needed a period of adaptation. After he was fired, I was starting to find my football again, integrating well and Julien Stéphan arrived. With him I started to play well but, unfortunately, I got injured in the French Cup and that slowed me down. I came back towards the end of the season, but without feeling at home and without receiving the affection of the fans and that bothered me. So this summer I took the trouble to leave Rennes. We then received a call from Florent Ghisolfi who had the opportunity to bring me to Roma”.
On his arrival in Rome.
“When I entered the dressing room I don’t know if they knew me, I don’t think so, but they acted as if we had always known each other and this helps to put you at ease. The first week everything went well, but in the following weeks I struggled because of the heat, I am a person who likes to run, but athletic training in Italy was difficult. What impressed me most was the number of people who work within this club, there are more people within the staff than players and this shocked me. The training facilities are also incredible, although the best part is the crowd. In Rennes or Lorient only a few people recognised me, here almost everyone. They live the club intensely and this makes you understand the leap forward”.
The first time at the Olimpico.
“The first time at the Stadio Olimpico unfortunately I didn’t start. As soon as we entered the field and passed in front of the fans I had chills, you feel like you're entering an arena. Then I entered the field, played 15 minutes and got hurt”.
The relationship with Manu Koné.
“I had seen some news on Twitter about the possibility that he could come to Roma and I wrote to him to find out if it was true. He didn't answer me all afternoon and I had to find out from Roma's Instagram account if it was official. Then I called him and we talked. He adapted immediately thanks to his strong personality on the field. Off the field, however, he is my best friend. He is a very good guy and lives two minutes walk from my house. With Ndicka we make a nice trio”.
On his father.
“His dream was to become a professional footballer. Unfortunately, that derailed a little early and then I came into the world. I think he gave me a shirt as a gift when I was born. He sent me to training when I could barely walk. He did everything he could to get me into that world. I think he had no trouble getting me into it because it was also something innate in me. And I remember, quite young anyway, having the maturity to tell him that 'where for him the train was derailing, for me it was continuing and in the end I managed to climb the ladder to be able to enter the professional world and to be able to flourish in this world'.
In prison he often spoke about me.
“Every time I went to visit him in prison there were two or three of his friends who would walk by saying 'the future, the future'. So I already knew that inside he talked a lot about me. And then I managed to get into the professional world so he could see the games live and then it took on an even greater proportion because the whole prison started watching the game. As soon as I arrived, he came to see me and spoke to me, I wasn’t necessarily seen as a star, but I was seen more as Jérémy’s son, for example”.
On his death.
“He committed suicide so as not to pay these guys because he couldn’t and didn’t want to ask me. For me, if he did that now he feels better up there and I’ll go and laugh with him later, when I reach him”.
