youth

Hans-Jürgen Kreische is the son of the former Dresden soccer player Hans Kreische , who played for Dresdner SC before the Second World War and for Dynamo Dresden in the 1950s. The Kreische family lived in Dresden until 1950, then in West Berlin and from 1951 to 1954 in Heidelberg , where Hans Kreische played soccer. In 1954 the family moved back to Dresden and Hans-Jürgen Kreische was registered with the Dynamo Dresden sports club at the age of ten. There he played in all youth teams until he was a junior, occasionally coached by his father.

In 1965 he was accepted into the youth national team of the GDR, with which he played his first international junior match on March 17, 1965. In the encounter between the GDR and Austria (2-0) he was on the pitch as a right midfielder with his future senior national team mates Jürgen Sparwasser and Jürgen Croy . He then played all five games of the 1965 UEFA youth tournament, the forerunner of the European Junior Championship, in Germany. In the final against England he secured the tournament victory as a half-right striker with the goal to 3-2. Only in 1965, Kreische played seven international matches with the junior team. Between 1966 and 1969 he played nine international matches with the youth national team. After completing his school education, he completed an apprenticeship as a concrete worker.

Beginnings in the GDR league

At the age of 17, still in junior age, Kreische was used for the first time in a league point game. In the 11th matchday between SC Leipzig and Dynamo Dresden (2: 1) on November 29, 1964, he came into the team as a half-left striker for Meinhard Hemp, who was not ready for action, and scored in the 90th minute with the connecting goal to 1 : 2 already his first upper ligator. It was his only league game of the 1964/65 season, in the next few months he played in the junior and reserve team. It was not until the 9th matchday of the 1965/66 season that the 1.85-meter-tall screech came back into the league team, but immediately won a regular place as a striker on the right with 18 point games. While he only got one league goal this season, a year later he was the top scorer of his team with eight goals in 21 games. The 1967/68 season ended Dynamo Dresden as relegated, so that Kreische subsequently had to play in the second-rate GDR league for a year . With 22 point games and 16 goals, he was instrumental in the immediate resurgence.

National team

During the 1967/68 season, Kreische was included in the squad of the senior national team. He made his international debut on February 2, 1968 in the encounter between GDR and CSSR (2-2) during a tournament in Santiago, Chile, in his regular position on the half-right attacking side. As in the league, he scored his first goal with the 2-0 intermediate score on his first appearance. From 1969 he was a permanent member of the national team. Kreische played 13 of the 16 European Championship and World Championship qualifying matches played between 1969 and 1973. Only the qualification for the 1974 World Cup in the Federal Republic was successful for the GDR. Of the six games of the GDR selection during the World Cup tournament in the 1st and 2nd final round, Kreische played three games, including the legendary 1-0 over the DFB selection. In the following twelve international matches until mid-1975, Kreische was only used five times due to injuries. His last international match took place on July 31, 1975 in Ottawa, Canada. In the 7-1 win over Canada, Kreische came on in the second half for Magdeburg midfielder Wolfgang Seguin . In total, Kreische came within eight years to 46 full internationals, in which he scored 25 goals.

In the soccer Olympic team of the GDR Kreische came to 13 missions between 1967 and 1972, in which he scored ten goals. These included all six final round matches at the 1972 Olympic soccer tournament in Germany. As a left midfielder Kreische stood with the GDR selection in the small final, in which the GDR won the bronze medal together with the opponent after a 2: 2 against the Soviet Union according to the tournament mode. In the 35th minute, Kreische initiated the turnaround to the final score of 2: 2 after a 0-2 deficit with a penalty goal.

Successful senior league years

Hans-Jürgen Kreische (1971)

After returning to the league, Kreische was withdrawn from the 1969/70 season in midfield. With only six championship goals in 26 completed league games, he was still Dynamo's top scorer. In the 1970/71 season, when he scored 17 goals in 23 games and was thus the top scorer in the league, Kreische proved that he was still on target despite his midfield performance. He repeated this success in 1972, 1973 and 1976. In addition to the top scorer's crown in 1971, Kreische was also able to celebrate the double championship and cup victory this season. Kreische won other GDR championships in 1973, 1976, 1977 and 1978. In 1973 he was elected Footballer of the Year in the GDR. For several years, Kreische was the captain of the Dynamo team.

Walter Fritzsch and Hans-Jürgen Kreische in 1971

In these years he was one of the strongest players in the league. However, he was unlucky that his career was interrupted by two protracted injuries between 1973 and 1975. In the fall of 1977, the 30-year-old Kreische completed his last games in the league. On the 8th matchday, October 15, 1977, he was used in the encounter Wismut Gera - Dynamo Dresden (2: 4) for the last time in a first division game. Just as he scored his first goal in his first league game, he scored his last championship goal in the last game. His goal for the 1: 2 intermediate result was also his 127th league goal, with which he became the most successful shooter of SG Dynamo Dresden during the GDR Oberliga era. Within thirteen league seasons, Kreische completed 234 first division games, plus 37 appearances in the European cup competitions, in which he was successful with 17 goals.

Screech's surprising end to his career in November 1977, in the middle of the current season , is a reaction to a non-substitution on match day 9 against 1. FC Magdeburg and represented the final escalation of the long-smoldering dispute with coach Walter Fritzsch . Fritzsch wanted screams from disciplinary reasons Reasons no longer use, whereupon Kreische announced his retirement from football.

Kreische had already obtained his diploma as a sports teacher in 1980, he had written his diploma thesis on the "history of SG Dynamo Dresden between 1946 and 1979" . He was first used in the youth field, at the beginning of the 1995/96 season he was the head coach of the 1st team that was playing in the third-class regional league at that time.
