"That suits me": Muheim on his role in HSV's new system | OneFootball

As one of the few promotion heroes, Miro Muheim remains a regular starter. Nevertheless, the Swiss player's role has also changed.

Miro Muheim has had turbulent years behind him. After a long battle for promotion, the left-footer now stands in the spotlight as a leading player of the newly assembled Bundesliga team. In the 2-1 victory over 1. FC Heidenheim, he even wore the captain's armband for the second time in a competitive match.

Growing more and more into a leadership role is not the only task the Swiss player currently faces: Instead of acting as a classic left-back in a four-man defense as usual, Muheim operates as a left wing-back in a three-man defense. A task that challenged him. "It wasn't easy at first," the 27-year-old explained in the Mopo interview. "I was used to a four-man defense, had to adapt. But I'm excited to learn new things. I feel more and more comfortable now."

Muheim fulfilled two dreams

What is crucial for Muheim is that he can maintain his offensive flexibility. "I'm not the typical wing-back, but I have certain freedoms," he explains. "I can also move into the center during the build-up play. That's my strength – and I enjoy it."

Off the pitch, Muheim is also one of the influential figures at HSV. As part of the leadership group, he regularly contributes his voice to internal team processes. "Each of us has a different leadership style. The crucial thing is: Everyone must get involved – no matter what their personal situation is."

After years full of second-division duels, Muheim has now reached where he always wanted to be: In the Bundesliga. "I've waited a long time for this. It was a big dream. Now I want to continue on this path."

Another big goal: Participating in the World Cup with the Swiss national team next summer. In recent international breaks, the HSV star has always been part of the Swiss squad. "When I look at it, I feel proud," says Muheim. He aims to be there again in October against Sweden (10.10) and Slovenia (13.10).
