Marc-André Hitz has settled in at Basel. His impressive reflexes and solid play make him a vital pillar in defense. Last Saturday against FC Luzern, Hitz saved not just a penalty but also redirected numerous attempts from the visitors. The fans at St. Jakob-Park cheered enthusiastically as he distinguished himself against the attackers.

The past weeks have shown that Basel can count on Hitz. In the last five matches, he has kept three clean sheets. His experience from his time in the Bundesliga benefits the team. "I feel like I have a positive impact on the defense," Hitz said after the match against Luzern.

His position in goal is secure, and the coaches seem to trust him fully. This confidence positively affects the defense. The players have less to worry about when pushing forward; they know Hitz is there for them.
