Krasso the Altruist
Author of 4 goals in 10 games, including 2 during the last match of the ACA against Pau (2-1 victory), Jean-Philippe Krasso is the man in sight of the moment in Ligue 2. Nominated among the top three in the championship UNFP Player of the Month Trophy for March (see here)the native of Stuttgart and former Epinal and Le Mans has succeeded, as in his former clubs, a almost immediate adaptation to the group.
“Individually, I quickly melted into the group. The team already knows each other, and suddenly when I arrive, it’s easy, I just have to bring my piece to the building. […] In life in general, I manage to socialize well, to communicate well with the person I have in front of me.
Always with the concern of making himself available, and of being complementary with his teammates in the offensive animation of the 4-4-2 by Olivier PantaloniJean-Philippe Krasso arrived with a certain technical baggage in his suitcases.
“I try to vary. My game is between depth and stalling. I like to pick up a lot, to also serve my partners. Afterwards, when we play teams that are grouped together behind, like Bastia or Nancy, it’s more complicated. You have to be more precise technically, faster in decision-making. The day before yesterday (Saturday, editor’s note), we were able to be fair. Often, the first goal is the most important. […].
“If Saint-Etienne goes down, I will be unhappy”
ASSEhis club with which he is in contract, is in bad shape in League 1and still plays its survival (18th, 27pts). In parallel, Krasso is currently the beautiful day of theAC Ajaccio, in the race for him to achieve the same achievement as 9 years ago, namely to finish second and join the elite. If the whites and reds go up and the greens go down…how would the Ivorian react?
“At first I will party with the ACA, and of course if Saint-Etienne goes down I will be unhappy. I also have very good friends there. I don’t wish them and I think they will hold up, because I know their abilities” […] reassures the attacker.
What’s next? If the opportunity to stay in Ajaccio, what’s more in Ligue 1 arises?
“I did not have an offer on paper, reveals Jean-Philippe Krasso. I think it will be seen in the summer, for the moment I am concentrating on the ground”.
Good answer, one would be tempted to say. In any case, his talent may not leave the Corsican club insensitive at the end of the season, especially if it materializes in an accession. “Drogba and Robben”, he replies without hesitation, when asked who his childhood idols are. We wish him the best possible end to the season with the ACA… and at least the same career as one of the two attackers who fascinate him!
