AC Milan defender Cristian Zapata is happy playing for coach Max Allegri.
Zapata signed permanently for Milan in the summer.
"He helped me a great deal, as I had lost my confidence in Spain and he brought it back. He knew which buttons to press.
"Would I rather have Balotelli or Higuain at Milan? I've had the good fortune to play with people like Radamel Falcao and Antonio Di Natale, but must admit the one who caused me the most problems in training was 'El Loco,' as I call Mario."
