Jean-Philippe Krasso should join ASSE in the coming days. A real little risky blow for Claude Puel who should take advantage of the long summer preparation to gauge the Spinalian striker who has already wandered a lot. Jean-Philippe Krasso was born in Germany, near Stuttgart. First defender among young people because of his large size, he advances to the position of attacker by joining Schiltigheim before going to Montreuil where he will not be dismissed in a club … It is by moving to Chartres that he returned to football, which allowed him to join the Pôle Espoir de Châteauroux. Playing in the U15 category, it is on the shelves in Lyon, Tours, Valenciennes and Lorient. He chooses the Hakes, club “whose training was very good”, he explains in Vosges Matin.
While the march of professionalism seems to have climbed, Jean-Philippe Krasso is stagnating. “I was a little worse. I no longer had the confidence of the coach and I finally gave up because I was put aside the first year of my intern contract. The second, I worked for me.”
It is the end of the professional adventure and a return to the side of Schiltigheim in the suburbs of Strasbourg. He will then live an exceptional year by just missing the rise in National with a team not necessarily programmed for that: “Collectively, I was comfortable, the atmosphere was good. We had successive victories, sometimes we didn’t know how. The more we won, the more we had confidence. We started from far away but there are had a little disappointment not to have ridden. I was playing right midfielder, which was not my position (he defines himself as an axial striker). I felt like I was stagnating. “ he remembers in an interview with Vosges Matin.

Aged 21, therefore joins the Spinal club and continues to progress until this 2019/20 season which allows him to explode, notably in the French Cup, an event which allows him to add to his 4 league goals, 2 assists against Sochaux (L2, 2-0) in the 7th round, 2 goals against Lille (L1, 2-1) in the 8th final before scoring their 7th goal in the Coupe de France, in the quarter, against… Saint- Etienne (1-2). On this occasion, the little story tells that he would have caught the eye of Claude Puel always on the lookout for young players with high potential …
Jean-Philippe Krasso should not be expected to embody the long-awaited serial goal scorer by the supporters. It is a blow made by the club for cheap. However, we remember the sometimes tortuous journey of footballers who, matured later than the others, then exploded in the professional world. hope that Jean-Philippe Krasso is part of this category …
