The Roma midfielder also discussed his relationship with his father: his dream was to become a professional footballer, he did everything to get me into that world.

Enzo Le Fée gave an interview to Free Foot where he discussed certain personal aspects of his life, focusing particularly on his relationship with his father, who passed away in April 2021. The French midfielder also spoke about his arrival at Roma, highlighting the crucial role that former coach Daniele De Rossi played in facilitating his move to the yellow-and-red team. Below are his statements:

On the move to Roma: “This summer I had no intention of moving, I felt good in Rennes even though I had a bit of difficulty feeling at home. The first time I spoke with De Rossi, we made a video call, and his humanity was immediately perceptible. For me, it’s absolutely a pivotal point; before you talk to me on the field, you have to talk to me on a human level because I need to have that connection. I also had other offers, I could have gone to Torino. The results are currently not living up to expectations, and now there’s a new coach on board. Ranieri is not just an exceptional coach, but also a great man. He has also coached in France and I have no language barriers with him. But he is a coach who shows favoritism to no one. “Give the deserving a chance, hence I must work hard. I feel like a number 8.”

About his relationship with his father: “His dream was to become a professional footballer. Unfortunately, this went off track a bit too early and then I came into the world. I think I was gifted a jersey right after I was born. They went to great lengths to pull me into that world. I believe they encountered no difficulty in drawing me in, since it was also something inherent in me. And I remember, still fairly young, having the maturity to tell him that ‘where for him, the train had run off the tracks, for me it was still going’, and in the end, I managed to climb and make my way into the professional world and really blossom in this realm. Every time I arrived for an interview at the prison, there were two or three of his friends passing behind saying ‘the future, the future’. “So I already knew that inside, it spoke a lot about me. And then I managed to make it into the professional world so he could see the games live,” shaped with emotion.

On his relationship with Koné: “When I read that he might come to Roma, I sent him a message, but I received no replies,” he expresses, his voice tinged with an undertone of disappointment. Then I saw the official announcement on the club’s Twitter profile and I called him. I’m happy to be on a team with so many midfielders. I don’t see competition with him, but I think Rome could have an all-French midfield. It will take more time for me to get used to it. He is a person who adapts quickly. He is very likable and a bit of a pest. “We live two minutes apart and together with Ndicka, we formed a trio,”

On his debut at the Olympic:

“Unfortunately, I did not start my first time at the Olympic Stadium. The moment we set foot on the field and passed in front of the fans, it gave me chills, you get the feeling of entering an arena. “Then I entered the field, played for 15 minutes and ended up getting hurt.”
