QuoteWhen did he say this?
He is obviouslly an intelligent man, but then again all good managers are.
“A man who understands Mozart can also play better football. Mozart teaches you about tension, tempo, rhythm, structure. In his music you can learn the logic to read a game.
“For me in any case, that was a big experience. I believe that through music I grew as a player and a man.
“Young players no longer have the patience for a symphony, which takes an hour and which one must hear several times to understand.
“Sometimes the concentration would do them good. They think their whole lives happen on the pitch. They don’t realise that they could learn a lot in the real world to improve their game.
“They sit with their MP3 players in the bench, in the dressing room and are much too nervous before the game. I say to them sometimes ‘why don’t you listen to Bach?’ But it gets harder to appreciate the classics in this culture.
“The best players know the real world, they find inspiration for their game in their lives away from the field.”
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?

"But in my team, you need balance. It is important to have balance. It's very important. And I like the physical condition also. Today it is very important in modern football, the build and physical condition. We need strong players as well as the technical and stylish players."

Was randomly reading elevenaside.com and saw this quote..
"If Jack Charlton was criticising me then I would be happy because he is a winner, but the others . . .'
Well done Trap. He's a proper manager.

Trophies won by Brian Kerr - 2 League Titles, 2 European Championship Titles
Trophies won by Jack Charlton - um........ 0
Think Mr Trappatoni has a strange understanding of what a winner is. (Fair play to Pat Dolan btw for being the only media commentator to point this out.)
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Ridiculous.
I hope you make your 1000th post better than your 999th.
Number of tournaments Ireland reached under Charlton - 3
Number of tournaments Ireland reached under Kerr - 0
Ireland's competitive victories under Charlton against seeded opposition - 6 (Bulgaria '87, Scotland '87, England '88, Spain '89, Italy '94, Portugal '95).
Ireland's competitive victories under Kerr against seeded opposition - 0
Besides, Charlton won the old Second Division with Middlesbrough, and won Manager of the Year in the same year. He also won the old Third Division with Sheffield Wednesday. So in that context, yes he is a winner. As a player, he also won the World Cup and a host of trophies with Leeds under Don Revie. Kerr did a great job with the youth teams, and I'll always respect him for that, but many of today's internationals (many of whom played big roles in Kerr's success at underage level) wouldn't even have been playing the game if it wasn't for Charlton's success.

From the Independent:
"It will be a strange game for me. I want Italy to win all their games, but to draw their two matches against Ireland."
Drawwwwwwww?
I think that's just Trap throwing the Italian press a bone; he's hardly going to admit he'll send the team out to win (leastwise, he should!)
theres no possibly about it, he is a complete clown
Its really not that complicated!!!
From todays Indo...
"I gave them carte blanche when it came to their diets," says Trapattoni. "I did not want to change their established habits.
"However, I saw the players eating mushrooms before a friendly, and I was stunned into silence for several seconds. I then told them that mushrooms are banned on matchdays -- both for breakfast and for dinner.
"I need time to change my players' mentality. But I was pleased to see some of them waste a few seconds after we went 1-0 up against Georgia. Little details like that can make all the difference."
what kind of mushrooms were the players eating?!
"If God had meant football to be played in the air, he'd have put grass in the sky." Brian Clough.
You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Certainly not performance enhancing ones anyway.....
magic mushrooms might explain the Cyprus fiascoa few of em did play as if they were tripping.

Ok, is there any real reason Trap was in shock? Are mushrooms some kind of faux-pas in modern sports nutrition or something?
Let the mind games begin. He'd love to beat them.
Quoting years at random since 1975
By all accounts the whole press conference yesterday was very entertaining. I think he made reference to a hack, presumably Fanning, and his bemoaning the fact that Venables wasn't appointed.
