"Defense starts with the goalkeeper," a well-known coach once said. These words could not be more accurate when considering M. Hitz at FC Basel. The experienced goalkeeper has formed the wall against opposing attacks this season, winning crucial matches with his saves.

Hitz is not only a reflex specialist but also a leader on the pitch. In the recent match against FC Zürich, he delivered a remarkable performance with three decisive saves. The pressure on him was palpable, yet his calm demeanor quelled the team's nerves and instilled confidence.

The statistics speak for themselves: M. Hitz currently leads the league in saved shots. His performances have not only excited fans but also inspired his teammates to seek defensive solidity. In an interview after the match against Zürich, Hitz said, "As a goalkeeper, you have to be aware of your responsibility."

This attitude and professionalism have led to players around him improving as well. Basel will rely on M. Hitz's consistency this season as they aim to secure their place in the upper echelons of the league. An indispensable stronghold on the path to success.
