Javi Martinez technique is pretty underrated in world football, everyone talks up his defensive abilities and tactical awareness but his main attribute is that you just can't take the ball from him because he is very skillfull with the ball & technical, that's why he is so solid actually, no misplaced passes, great first touch and the ice on the cake is that if you use physicality like Vidal for example he is equally strong to beat you in that area too.
That damn supercup game against BVB, he had a brainfart there and he cost him regular football, that ugly injury was like an arrow for me in the chest, I just didn't watched the game after that and he was so damn good in that game... The funny part is that it was his fault and only.
As for Vidal, honestly he was good but a bit rusty in the start of the season but after that, oh my god... the guy geared up and never looked back again, he went rampant against every opponent like a street fight. I think one of the Bayern's highlights in the last season is that hustle he did against Atletico, I'm talking about the stretched pass header to Lewandowski. Unbelievable hustle! Plus the steal to Evra for Muller's goal.
