Enzo Le Fee van Sunderland brought everything about his father’s suicide for the “most important game of my life”.
And the 25-year-old will not be bothered in the spotlight Wembley in return for Sheffield United After revealing his incredible journey from the prison gates to the Premier League CUSP.
The French playmaker immediately became a hit on Wearside after reunification with the former Lorient -Baas Regis Le Bris in the stadium of Light on loan in January.
Eyebrows were raised when the ambitious Championship Promotion hunters broke the star in just a few months after he had joined Roma for £ 25 million.
But a switch to the physicality of the second level of England and the start of a new life in the northeast will hardly have Le Fee.
The Maverick was confronted with painful pain during his childhood while his father, Jeremy Lampriere, stints behind bars served for violence, drugs and possession of a gun.
Nothing prepared Le compensation, however, to find his father’s body in bed and committed suicide in 2021.
During a heartbreaking interview with TimeHe revealed how he tried to deal with that shock by not telling anyone and just trying to continue training.
Le Fee said: “It was Wednesday and I found my father in his bed. The day after I had to go to the police because they had to ask me something and I said:” No, I can’t, I have to train. ‘
“He knew only an hour before the game when my grandfather called him and he says it is strange that I said nothing.
“Nobody knew in the dressing room. I am so, my problem is my problem. I think it’s because of this, now I can speak. Now I am free.”
Le Fee, who was raised by his mother and grandmother, opened more about his relationship with his deceased father.
He said: “How much has it influenced me? Phew, a lot.
“When I was three, he immediately put me on the field. He was a great player.
“From when I was eight to 12 and after 14 to 20, I think, I would visit him in prison. Normally I train but every Wednesday I would go to prison to see him. At the age of 18 I started seeing him alone.”
‘I want to be in Sunderland next year’
How Le Fee bounced back from that heartache and pain is proof of the mental resilience of the star.
And he does not hide the fact that he feels at home on Wearside who is still playing under mentor Le Bris.
That first loan from Roma will be a permanent £ 25 million if the black cats beat Sheffield United and the AAS admitted that the bet is not much greater.
Le Fee added: “I want to be inside Sunderland Next year, certainly, certainly. I have been working since the last six months before.
“Now it’s one game, and it’s the most important game of my life.”
