How Regis Le Bris shaped the careers of Enzo Le Fee and Illan Meslier

Following that, they parted ways, with one going to England and the other staying in France before relocating to Italy. They are now following parallel aspirations and living within 100 miles of one another, although not exactly back together. Reunited as pals, they will line up against one another at Elland Road this evening. Illan Meslier, Leeds United goalkeeper. Sunderland’s left-sided attacker is Enzo Le Fee. Le Bris Regis? A proud father figure, former head coach of Lorient’s academy and first team coach.

Le Bris, who worked with Meslier and Le Fee during their early years in the Lorient youth ranks, remarked, “I can be happy to see their development and how they are doing in their career when I watch players I have worked with in some of their games.” “I only spent a brief time with them. They had a lot of experiences before me, and they had a lot of experiences after me. It was merely a step in the procedure. However, you manage a variety of players in the young academy, and you can then take pride in their professional achievement.

Meslier has made 198 senior appearances for Leeds, more than half of which were in the Premier League, and is a former France Under-21 international. Le Fee has played almost 150 games in Ligue 1, spent time in Serie A and is also a France Under-21 player as well as an Olympian.

It’s safe to say that both of them have done rather well for themselves. Did Le Bris, however, always know they had what it took to be the best? Were there challenges to overcome along the road, or did their careers always have an upward trajectory?

The Sunderland manager stated, “They were coming through at Lorient in the same year.” “When I was the coach, they were on the same youth team. Both of them were noticeable from a very young age. Even though the dynamics were different for each of them, I always knew they had a strong possibility of performing exceptionally well.

Since he wasn’t very tall when he was younger, it’s likely that his true growth occurred when he was 16 or 17. Around the age of 17 or 18, he realized his true ability. Enzo was incredibly gifted when he was very young, but he had a period of injury difficulties after that. Between the ages of 17 and 18, his body wasn’t physically developed. But he developed into the player he is now after that.

“So, although they were together, they had different dynamics and a different pathway. But by the time they had turned 18 or 19, it was

clear they both had a lot of potential. “Even at that stage though, it is a long journey. At the end of the process, many people can say it

was obvious that a certain player would make it, but before, it is never that obvious. If you look at our team this season, you can say

now that we have a very good team, but when we started, it wasn’t really the case. With young players, it is often like that too.“It is

often about when they can get their opportunity. That is when you really see. Before that, you can still have many doubts. But when

they are on the pitch, that is when you can say, ‘Ah yes, it is clear, they can play’. “It is a question of opportunities, and the

environment that you create around them, to support them and help them learn from their mistakes. It is about showing them that

you believe they can succeed, believe they can manage different situations and believe that they can express their talent.”
