Uwe Krause (soccer player)

Uwe Krause (born October 13, 1955 in Braunschweig ) is a former German soccer player who played most of his career in France .

Career

The striker began his career in the men's area in the mid-1970s at Eintracht Braunschweig . In March and April 1976 he was taken into account in two games of the amateur national team against Austria and Denmark's juniors . Also used in the Bundesliga from the 1977/78 season , he became a regular player for the Blue-Yellows in 1978/79 and scored seven goals in 28 games; In the final table jumped out a 9th place for Eintracht this year. In the following season, which ended despite the commitment of striker Ronald Worm with Braunschweig's relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga North , the coach Heinz Lucas or Uli Maslo , who replaced him in October 1979, only used him in 15 games in which Uwe Krause remained goalless.

In the summer of 1980 he then moved to the French Division 1 at Stade Laval , who had already had good experiences with a German center forward named Erwin Kostedde the year before . With this "gray mouse" from the Mayennais , in whose ranks there were only two better-known players, Victor Zvunka and Herwig Kircher , Krause stepped into the limelight almost immediately. Even though Laval was classified as League 16. the 1980/81 season barely escaped relegation, the German shot himself to second place on the top scorer list with 23 goals . In the following year his 18 “booths” (fifth best shooter) led the club to 5th place in the final table; Laval also advanced to the quarter-finals in the national cup after victories over the second division side Stade Quimper , Calais RUFC and RC Besançon , in which it was eliminated 0-0 and 0-1 against AS Saint-Étienne . Also in 1982/83 Uwe Krause finished the Première Division with Stade Laval in fifth place, to which he contributed 14 goals this time (9th scorer place) and enabled Laval's only appearance in a European competition to date (2012/13) .

In the 1983/84 season he was then won by AS Monaco, a “great” of French football, with Krause in a strong team (including Manuel Amoros , Bruno Bellone , Bernard Genghini , Yvon Le Roux , Claude Puel and goalkeeper Jean-Luc Ettori ) enjoyed the trust of coach Lucien Muller from the first game - and justified it with a dozen goals (thirteenth-best shooter) in 38 league games. After the 38th matchday Monaco was tied with the Girondins Bordeaux at the top of the table, but only became runner-up due to the slightly poorer goal quotient , although the team were still ahead of Bordeaux on the penultimate matchday. Even in the cup, the Brunswick could hope for a title until the end; In the final, however, he remained goalless, so that outsiders FC Metz prevailed 2-0 in extra time.

Why Uwe Krause no longer stayed in Monaco after this successful season , but switched to FC Sochaux in 1984 - and thus again had to forego a UEFA Cup participation - has not yet been determined. In terms of sport, this was a step backwards for him despite equally strong teammates ( Stéphane Paille , Albert Rust , Franck Sauzée , Henrik Agerbeck ), and in the two seasons there he only achieved 17 goals and an 8th and a 15th place in the respective final table. In 1986 Uwe Krause moved back to the Mediterranean coast , where Dominique Bathenay was just earning his first spurs as a coach and Krause stormed for three years in Division 2 for FC Sète . Whether he was still active there after relegation to the third division (1989) is not clear from the sources.
