"Since I was a young boy I've always been smaller than everyone so I had to learn how to fight. My best ability is when I have the ball. I enjoy finding solutions to problems. But in this league you're no good if you don't work hard for the team when we defend without the ball. If I can alter the game it's perfect but I have to do the other side too."
Le Fee describes practicing magic tricks as a youth and still enjoying them privately, while focusing on football performance. He uses card-like creativity and timing to shape Sunderland’s attacking play, spotting openings others miss and turning midfield disorder into structured threats. He slows or speeds the game to choose when to pass first-time and when to delay deliveries to draw defenders out of position. Off the ball, he emphasizes discipline, pressing, and effective tackling despite his smaller stature. He frames success as balancing skill with hard work when defending, aiming to alter games while also contributing to the team’s defensive side.
