Marc Hitz, Basel's goalkeeper, has impressed with consistent performances this season. In critical moments, he made many important saves that kept the team from falling behind. His five spectacular saves in the last match against FC Luzern are a prime example of his strength. However, his contribution goes beyond merely guarding the goal.

Hitz has gained the trust of his defenders and serves as an active communicator on the field. His command of the game makes him an additional defensive leader. French press texts praise his understanding of the game and ability to read play.

A comparison to previous seasons shows his current level is considerably higher. "We believe in him," says Alexander Frei, the club legend. Hitz acts as an emotional anchor for the entire squad and will continue to play a key role for FCB.
