According to reports, Athletic Bilbao midfielder, Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468, is being monitored by the German giants, Bayern Munich.
This season Bilbao have managed to shine, despite the fact that they did not win a single title, and did not even end up strong in the Spanish league.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa, the Bilbao coach, has managed to his team to new heights.
Last season, despite not finishing in the top 6 of the Spanish La Liga, Bilbao managed to reach finals of two prestigious tournaments.
First, Bilbao managed to reach the Europa League final, where they had to face defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid. Falcao was the player who totally penetrated Bilbao’s defence singlehandedly, and managed to score a brace in the final.
The Colombian striker managed to win his second Europa League final after scoring a memorable brace against the Spanish side, Bilbao.
Later, Bilbao managed to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, where they had to face the might http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. The former Spanish champions recently lost their chance of winning the fourth consecutive Spanish La Liga, and the second consecutive Champions League;
therefore, Josep Guardiola took no chances against Bilbao and played his strongest side.
Barcelona won the game 3-0 and gifted their departing coach, Josep Guardiola, with his 14th title during his three-year tenure at the Spanish club.
During this time, there were several players who managed to perform phenomenally for Athletic Bilbao. The Spanish underdogs managed to beat a team like Manchester United during the Europa League, and that was with the help of a coach like Marcelo Bielsa
and a team which consisted of players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Llorente-c13671, Iker Munian and Javi Martinez.
Javi Martinez has been an outstanding player for the Spanish side and he has shown his talent not only in the midfield, but also while playing as a defender.
According to reports, the German side, Bayern Munich, are currently keeping tabs on the Bilbao star. Martinez might be a direct replacement for Bastian Shweinsteiger, who is currently under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 radar.
Martinez is definitely a player who can replace the German star and do wonders in that role, as he has shown glimpses of stardom time and time again.
