Lars Iver beach ( born May 7, 1983 in Lakselv ) is a Norwegian football player.
Club career
Start your career with FK Posanger
Beach began his career in the youth of his home club Porsanger FK (after merger with Lakselv IL since 2005 Porsanger IL). As the biggest talent of the club he made his debut at the age of 15 years in the A- team of the club in the Norwegian third division. In his first season he was the top scorer of his club.
Breakthrough in Tromsø IL
His talent did not go unnoticed the great Norwegian associations, and so he signed in 2001, his first professional contract with Tromsø IL. In his first year he came only to season 2 inserts and had to stay with the club in the same Adecco Ligaen. After the descent of the club placing more emphasis on his own talents and beach was a regular place. Together with the then emerging talent Morten Gamst also just Pedersen, he responded by forming an extremely torgefährliches offensive team, whose interaction was hardly calculate. At the end of the season he celebrated with the club the sovereign title win in the Adecco Ligaen and its chances of promotion involved.
After the climb we managed in the following season as Tabellenelfter narrowly avoid relegation, before long you starred in the 2004 season for the title in the Tippeligaen and end up placing 4th overall place table. Over the years, Pedersen and beach of talent had been developed to players that the interest of various associations, even beyond the borders of Norway, aroused. While Pedersen joined the 2005/06 season to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, however, held his beach club for the time being loyal.
The sale of Pedersen, however, had left a qualitative gap in the team that you could no longer compensate. For beach of loss weighed particularly difficult, as he had not only lost his congenial partner, but also his best friend. In 2005 he became indeed an international player in Norway, but languished in a row until 2008 Tromsø in the middle of the league around.
Stagnation at Vålerenga
As a result, he moved due to lack of perspective league internally for Vålerenga Fotball highly ambitious to Oslo. In Norway, it was expected to result in a similar trend as that Pedersen, who was even stronger after his move. But the season was disappointing for the player. Beach could be difficult to integrate into the new system of player-coach Martin Andresen and lost his eye for goal, a nearly complete. After a few below average, he found himself more and more again on the bench. At the end of the season he had completed 19 season games without a goal. Too little for Vålerenga who had him committed as prolific midfielder. The only highlight was winning the Norwegian Cup -petition, but could not hide the disappointing season of course the beach.
On loan back in Tromsø
In 2009 he was subsequently awarded for one year at his old stamping ground Tromsø IL. In his old club, he found himself immediately into the correct position and was able to stabilize its performance. Among other things, he scored two goals against Lillestrøm SK and his own employer Vålerenga. At the end of the season, he finished with the club to sixth overall place table. Beach contributed 4 goals in 26 league games to this.
