M. Hitz is not just Basel's goalkeeper; he is the backbone of the team. With his reflexes and leadership qualities, he has repeatedly proven this season that he is there in crucial moments. The recent match against FC Zürich highlighted just how important Hitz is for the squad. Under pouring rain, he made several saves, ensuring solidity in defense.

Statistics speak for themselves: Hitz has kept three clean sheets in the last five matches. This has not only boosted the team's confidence but also lifted pressure from the backline. His relationship with defenders, particularly M. Cissé and M. Akahomen, has noticeably improved, ensuring a solid defensive line.

A defining moment of the season for Hitz was the game against YB Bern, where he saved two crucial penalties. After the match, Hitz stated: "I never lose focus. Every shot counts, and I give everything for my team." This mindset motivates the entire squad to concentrate on their strengths and perform when it matters.

A traditional Basel saying goes: "A goalkeeper can decide the game." With M. Hitz in goal, fans are confident that the team is on the right path, perhaps even closer to the championship.
