Zapata was born on September 30th, 1986, in the Columbian town of Padilla. However, he made his first football steps in the Italian Udinese. The young Columbian feels great while playing defense, particularly the middle ‘d’. If you look at his attributes, it is clear that he matches that position perfectly. He can play headers and he can cover and intercept. Moreover, Cristian has great physical conditions – he is tall and strong. In general, Zapata makes an impression as if he was born to be a middle defender. In addition, he is still very young, which means that his skills will be getting better. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to buy him – he is quite expensive and loyal to Udinese. However, if we make a good offer to the club and a good salary to the player, it should not be a problem to get him. Once he joins your team, he will quickly make the starting line-up and year by year he will be playing significantly better.
