I'm beginning to appreciate Brozovic more and more with every match. That engine on him is incredible, running almost 13 km per 90 minutes, both in serie A and CL, which is a crazy number if you compare it with all the other players. He distributes the ball very well (second best passer in the league in average passes, and first in total number of passes) and stops lots of opponents' attacks (top 5 in interceptions among midfielders).
For comparison, our Matuidi, who is acknowledged for his stamina, covers 10.7 km per match in serie A and 11.6 km per match in CL. True, a more proper comparison would be Brozovic-Pjanic, and Brozovic is beating Pjanic in every stat, except goals scored, including assists and average passes per game. All eyes in Inter are on Lukaku and Lautaro, but you can bet that without Brozovic they will be scoring less and conceding much more.
He went out with an injury today. I like him, but it's gonna be great info if it keeps him out of the pitch for a month or two.
