1860 professional Marco Hiller (23) is the goalkeeper that nothing knocks off.
After the bloody foul by Joshua Zirkzee (19) in the derby against Bayern II, he continued with serious facial injuries. In four of the last five games he has not conceded a goal. On Sunday (1 p.m., live Magenta Sport) he is in goal against Meppen.
BILD: 2-0 against FC Bayern II, 1-0 against Ingolstadt. In 1860 this is almost called a series …
Marco Hiller: “They laugh, but I call that series. Two times to zero in a row I haven’t had in the 3rd division. This should go on now. “
BILD: The next opponents are Meppen, Magdeburg, Zwickau.
Hiller: “That was seven points in the first half of the season. I would take it again. If we manage to repeat the 33 points from the first half of the season, we could probably stay in the top group. “
BILD: You seem very self-confident now.
Hiller: “I feel more confident with every game and the coach encourages me every week – even if everything isn’t going perfectly. He trusts me, he trusts the team – I think that’s our secret. It’s not just an empty phrase, we can really rely on each other and push each other. There are no troublemakers. “
BILD: How vain are you?
Hiller: “The way I look right now? Thank god not at all! And I like my friend Chloe too. Scars make you sexy. “
BILD: Joshua Zirkzee’s foul in the derby against the small Bayern Munich could have caught the eye …
Hiller: “I don’t think about that. It wasn’t on purpose. He has apologized several times and I am not resentful. “
BILD: You have been with the club since 2008 and have already enjoyed cult status with the fans. When is it threatening to say goodbye?
Hiller: “Why should I go? My goal is to advance to the Bundesliga with the Löwen. That’s what you call a career, right? But of course it is and will remain a business and at some point I want to play first class. “
BILD: Goalkeeper legend Gábor Király recently praised your development …
Hiller: “That makes me incredibly proud. I like praise in general, but that’s something very special from him. As a child I wore his gray sweatpants. “
BILD: What does Sascha Mölders say to you before every game?
Hiller (laughs): “This is our ritual. He always shouts: ‘To zero!’. It’s good that I don’t always have to pay a round if it doesn’t work. “
