Yes, when Croatia still had Rakitić, Badelj and so on.Fair enough. I recall him being more box-to-box for Croatia but that was a few years back.
Instead, talking about Inter, he had an anarchic attitude, tactical speaking, and was tried in many positions without, with sincerity, any success, despite in the international appearances with his national team he was always showing to be a better player.
In 2017, Spalletti came to Inter with his 4-3-3, he moved him back and Brozo started to "clean" the ball as DeBlueLous wrote. Since then, he was never dropped out of that role, despite the 3-5-2.
