I guess everyone knows that when searching for a good defender you should look in the sunny, green Italy. However, this time our player won't be Italian. He's Colombian. Cristian Zapata is a typical centre back and his technical attributes are the best evidence when it comes to proving this thesis. Good positioning, marking and tackling absolutely confirm what has been said before and a nice heading attribute will not only help his defensive play, but it might also be useful in the opponent’s penalty area. His physical abilities, for a 20 year old footballer trained in Italy, are on sufficient level. What's more, Zapata is hard-working, brave and provocative. We don't have to be afraid of risky situations in front of our team's goal - Cristian is composed and certainly he will waste no time should the situation require it. It is hard to buy him from Udinese, because the club wants quite a big sack of gold for him and Zapata himself isn't quite interested in leaving his club.
