Mohamed Bayo will forever be the first. By opening the scoring against Bordeaux (0-2) this Sunday in the 82nd minute, the Clermont Foot 63 striker became the first player to shake the nets in Ligue 1 for the Puy-de-Dôme club. In the aftermath of this historic performance, the 23-year-old striker delivered his feelings on the antennas of RMC Sport. “I am very happy to have scored this first goal which goes into the history of the club. I hoped one day to score for Clermont, but to score in Ligue 1, with my training club, it is for sure a unique feeling “, declared the top scorer in Ligue 2 in 2020/2021 on the RMC football show.
Gastien, unchanged speech
Also questioned on the philosophy of his trainer Pascal Gastien, the CF63 striker gave up some locker room secrets. “His speech does not change: whether we are in Ligue 2 or in Ligue 1, he has the same will: that we play ball, that we take the time to calm down, bring the ball the most high possible to score. To me, he asks me to go in the box, to win to go help my teammates, and I try to apply it as best as possible “, he admitted, before speaking about his future.
A departure envisaged?
“I have ambitions as a player. So I will choose the best project. If he is in Clermont, I will stay in Clermont. But I’m just saying that I am getting to an age where I have goals and expectations. You have to have ambition if you want to be successful. “ So, will he succeed in Clermont or elsewhere in France? The doubt persists. In any case, it should not be abroad, since the Guinean international (1 selection) admits to preferring to spend a season in Ligue 1 before a possible departure.
