Roma have been more convincing in the last two games after appointing Ranieri, but Enzo Le Fée has watched them from the bench.

Roma Midfielder Drops Down a Few Pegs Under New Coach

Roma have been more convincing than in the final matches under Ivan Juric in the past two fixtures since Claudio Ranieri took over, but one player has been hurt by the coaching change, Enzo Le Fée, who was forced to watch them both from the bench.

The Frenchman could easily become discontent if the situation continued, Il Tempo informed (via LaRoma24). He has had a rocky start to his Serie A career. He suffered a knee sprain that sidelined him for six weeks shortly after joining. The former Rennes star had won the trust of the Croatian gaffer, getting the nod thrice in a row, but has fallen to the back of the line after the ex-Torino boss got the ax.

Ranieri has given minutes to all midfielders but Le Fée in the last two bouts. Even Leandro Paredes, who had become an afterthought but got the nod versus Tottenham. Manu Koné has become indispensable at this point. Bryan Cristante, Niccolò Pisilli, and Lorenzo Pellegrini have alternated next to him.

The newcomer joined in a €23M move from Ligue 1 but has logged just 365 minutes so far this season. He had started thrice in a row, against Torino, Hellas Verona, and Union Saint-Gilloise with Juric on the bench, faring decently.

Our Take on Roma and Le Fée

Two matches aren’t enough to make it a trend, but the issue could be there since Koné has locked down one spot, while the other is up for grabs between several competitors. The Giallorossi seem better with two holding midfielders and a no.10 rather than with a pure three-man midfield, where he’d be more at ease.
