He has perhaps the most difficult task that can be assigned at HSV. Miro Muheim (23) has to Replace Tim Leibold (27, cruciate ligament tear) on the left side. Leibold, the executive, the player who has been on the defensive wing since 2019.
After the season off for Leibold in the cup victory in Nuremberg, Muheim is number 1 on the left. He made the possible 180 second division minutes without Leibold. Previously it was just 81 minutes in eleven games.

“He’s doing well,” says HSV trainer Tim Walter (46). Especially in the 7: 4 test against the Danish first division club FC Nordsjaelland you could see the qualities of Muheim that were previously hidden. The former Swiss U21 international (five appearances) scored two goals for the Danes.
Which brings us to the accuracy, which also helps him in his second favorite sport. He revealed to HSVlive: “Mini golf. In my home country there is a track that I play on regularly. I would say that I have mastered the game quite well. “
The “game” for power on the left was won by Muheim through Leibold’s failure. The loan from St. Gallen will probably sit firmly on the throne there until summer 2022. Then HSV can decide whether to buy Muheim, who was also able to move to Bundesliga promoted Fürth in the summer, for 1.5 million euros. Now the left-footer has to give full throttle and show that he wants a future in Hamburg.
Or whether it’s going back to Switzerland. He would be closer to a specialty that comes from his mother Andrea’s kitchen. Miro: “Honey chicken. It always happens when I’m with her at home. What I mean is chicken with a honey sauce and noodles. “
Muheim, the new man for left. Coach Walter believes that the Swiss can properly close the gap left by Leibold in the long run: “The more games Miro has, the more mature he becomes.”
