Bayern Munich’s Javi Martinez on Julian Green, Odell Beckham Jr and Pep Guardiola

“I wish we had time to visit the United Centre,” says Javi Martinez. “I have four or five Chicago Bulls jerseys.”

The Bayern Munich star is clearly pleased to be on the Bundesliga giants’ North American tour, and particularly in the home of his favorite NBA team.

When FC Yahoo meets the 27-year-old Basque star at Die Roten’s team hotel—ahead of their friendly clash with Milan at Soldier Field—he is keen to talk about his love for US sports, as well as his past with Pep Guardiola, the present with Carlo Ancelotti and the future of American teammate Julian Green.
