Although it treats of a less technical player that Sergio Busquets, Marcelo Brozovic has the experience and necessary hierarchy to relieve to the ex captain of the FC Barcelona as '5'. Accustomed to play in front of the central so much in the Inter of Milan as in his selection, the Croat would not have problems to adapt to the diagram of Xavi Hernández, independently that the egarense prioritise to follow playing with four mediocentros.
In principle, Brozovic would be accompanied by Frenkie of Jong in the recovery, leaving to Pedri and to İlkay Gündogan freer to control the balloon and step the rival area. Another that can throw a hand to the of Zagreb is Gavi, although Xavi has planted him more advanced by left in the last months. In any case, Brozovic will have the mission to recover a lot of balloons and give safe exit to the team, something that has done with solvency in his years in Italy.
The numbers of Brozovic give tranquility to Xavi
In the 2022/23, the Croat contested a total of 40 parties (2.507 minutes) in which it added 3 goals and 6 assistances. In the Series To was the second player that more distance visited (7,819 km), only surpassed by Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio), with 8,087 km. Regarding tarpaulin of passes, his percentage was of 90 % (1.446 passes concretised), recovering a total of 141 balloons with alone 6 losses in 28 parties.
For Xavi, the final of the Champions in front of the Manchester City was a good example of what can do Brozovic in parties 'big'. The one of Zagreb was imponente in the recovery, doing an enormous effort to neutralise to the 'jugones' of Pep Guardiola. In this sense, Marcelo is a player very pulcro in the mark, making only 24 faults (9 yellow) in the last edition of the Series To.
Brozovic Also did a big work in the Nations League
The another letter of presentation of the captain interista was the final of the UEFA Nations League in front of Spain. The player of 30 years had a flawless party in the centre of the field beside Mateo Kovacic during 120 minutes in which The Red could not break the Croatian zero. In Italy has showed, besides, his capacity to collaborate in attack, generating a total of 25 occasions of goal and 25 finish in league. By 25 million euros (the mount that they ask the group 'nerazzurri') will be difficult fichar another player with the characteristics and the experience of Marcelo Brozovic.
