Marcelo Brozovičius in the second World Cup is proving his worth.

The 30-year-old midfielder improved the world championship record he held in the quarterfinals against Japan.

In the match against Japan, the Croat ran a distance of 16.70 kilometers. Four years ago, the record was set in the semi-finals against England, when a total of 16.33 km was covered.

It is no secret that M. Brozovičius smokes cigarettes, but this does not harm his performances on the football field.

Croatia will face Brazil in the quarterfinals.
