Without Johan Gastien, how can Clermont Foot play in Monaco on Sunday?
The Louis-II stadium therefore refuses to the prince of the Clermont milieu. Already absent during the heavy defeat (4-0) of CF63 on Monegasque ground last season, Johan Gastien will again miss the trip to ASM, due to a suspension.
Exhausted last Sunday, he will be able to recover but for the staff, and his father in mind, it will not be easy to adapt to his absence. Brandon Baiye could experience a first tenure in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
By casting Brandon Baiye
In Clermont, he had never exceeded 6 minutes of play before Auxerre’s last reception (2-1). But by offering him nearly half an hour to speak last Sunday, Pascal Gastien may have anticipated the absence of his son, in the middle, against ASM. Brandon Baiye did not play with Maxime Gonalons, as he could in Monaco on Sunday, but the lack of an alternative in the middle (if Magnin stays on the right, see below) gives even more credit to the Belgian player.

After two successful seasons at Lustenau (54 games, 6 goals, 11 assists), Brandon Baiye is gradually settling into the Clermont group. The 21-year-old midfielder has been in all the groups called up by Pascal Gastien this season and he could take advantage of Johan’s suspension to convince his father to start him.
By replacing Yohann Magnin in the middle
Positioned right piston to help out in Ajaccio (3-1), Yohann Magnin doubled against Auxerre, to compensate for the absences of Jérémie Bela and Mehdi Zeffane. It’s not his position, but still: he has once again proven his ability to adapt, he who knows how to repeat efforts and respond present in duels.

But without Johan, Pascal Gastien could shift Yohann, and put on the experience of the latter, will require more important than that of Brandon Baiye. The coach will then have to decide between his desire to launch one more young person, and that of relying on experience at a higher level, which is more against a championship cador.Yohann Magnin in the middle or on the right?
But then who to put on the right, if the three-man defense continues? Mehdi Zeffane is out and Jérémie Bela will probably be a little tight. As a good Swiss army knife, Alidu Seidu could adapt, but his role in the axis of defense is important. In other genres, Jim Allevinah, Jodel Dossou or Elbasan Rashani do not offer sufficient defensive guarantees. And Arial Mendy, left-handed, was not called up for Auxerre. Clearly, the candidates do not jostle.
By changing system
To get around this puzzle, Pascal Gastien could also return to the good old 4-2-3-1, or even 4-3-3, to challenge Monaco. An option which has several advantages in terms of automation, and which could allow him to better compensate for the absences of Zeffane, Gastien or even Bela if he is not returned for Sunday.
prime Johan Gastien, after the success of Clermont Foot against Auxerre: “The victory of a whole group”
Yes but… Clermont applies three behind since the 5th day (see since the second half of the 4th…) and the ten points taken in this device also speak for him. It’s difficult to change a team that is in 8th place when it is supposed to be maintaining, so the coach could maintain his confidence in an organization that he knows can still be improved. In Monaco as elsewhere.
