Legendary: Press Conference with Giovanni Trapattoni 

HE WAS RIGHT THATS WHY WE DIDNT WON CL IN THE 80S AND 90S!!!!! WE DIDNT HAVE WORLD CLASS PLAYERS ONLY FEW!!!!

glad i ve seen this comment

Wise words from a man wise as a full bottle

thanks for your comment many dont know what is happening here

I think you are wrong in Portugal is regarded as an hero for Benfica he choose to leave !!!!

​@@clintstewart5545 Well, the OP is right. Trappatoni was known in the 3rd half of the season in Benfica as "Trapalhoni" (a play on his name with the Portuguese word "Trapalhão", meaning "bungler"). Nobody believed that Benfica could be champion mid season with such unbalanced team, and there were many defeats all season long. Luckily, main opponents were losing games as well. His defensive style was not aprecciated at all. A fun fact is that he also did while at the club a legendary press conference, on late February. This is what happened: During the game, he was severely whistled and was shown white handkerchiefs (typical attitude here when fans want the manager out of the club) when Benfica was knockout in Lisbon in UEFA Cup's last 16 against CSKA Moscow (1-3 final, tied 1-1 in the away game), after some controversial defensive substitutions. After the game, an annoyed Trappatoni shouted against critics and press journalists alike and defended out loud the players while punching the press table, saying the team played well and he had nothing to say about the players attitude. This press conference is highly regarded as the "turn around" of things, as he protected the team, making it more cohesive and fans started to support it no matter what until the very end. Games remained hard to see, to be honest, but the supporters started to believe, and that was the main difference. Of course in the end he almost did the domestic double, obviously losing the cup final after too many celebrations lol. There's a rumor that he left the club because he didn't think it was possible to do it again next season, but who knows. Trappatoni is respected as he ended an awful period with a limited team, but i wouldn't call him a "hero". It was a tough season. Ups, that was long.

Schumi beginned speaking some Italian by the end of his Ferrari stint, he still was not comfortable with it but I clearly remember (ironically...) during his 3 years at Mercedes there were a few times that he replied in Italian to Rai interviewers, and that was years after, so he learnt some

Mazzone ?

Always the italians lol, their rants are legendary

@@GuaranaGH Ancelotti is italian too but he's the calmest person on the earth

antonio conte joins the chat

Cazzo!

lmao

lololol

if you have a kevlar.....

Would've been awkward if he extended his arm in front of him @2:09. Especially with all the yelling and banging on that table...

Until that coffee meet your eyes

LOL I died reading your comment.

I've had endless conversations with intellectuals about it, we realized the depth of the question is so big that it might actually hold the answer to life. He who finds the answer might discover god.

Strunz = stronzo in italian

Bro questioned the very existance of Strunz right there

Hahahahahaha

🤣🤣🤣🤣

german, scary ? lol !!!!!

Stronzo, no Strunz !!!!

@@anna-uc4tq è equivalente a stronzo in molti dialietti, il che rende la cosa ancora più fantastica!

thank god he finish because that was too funny

Ich habe fertig

He has tought in Italian, cause in Italian we say " ( io) HO finito" --> I have finished! 😀😀😀

I have ready :D

he was a bit after the France match in fairness

That conference was in 1998. As you get older you get slower

Ja

That was by no means German lol

MALAO LTD It was German with a broken grammar and with an Italian accent. 😂

😳

Yes. Especially when women speak it when they are moaning in bed.

same

Not necessarily that Bayern is different than other clubs in that sense but that Trappattoni was different than other managers

+Run Robben Run Do you have to bash Dortmund players when this has nothing to do with them?

Joe Gerard He was a bayern player who quit. ~RRR

I am a massive Bayern fan, but you have to admit, we letting Mats Hummels go was a mistake. I couldn't imagine how good our defensive line would be if we still had Mats. We already have a great one, but with Mats it could have been better.

Legoww3 Why do you have BVB profile pic? ~RRR

Danke... STRUNZ!!!

Angry Italians are always this expressive. Gattuso, trappatoni and Conte.

Er meinte: "Ich habe fertig gemacht"... :-)

Ich bin fertig oder ?

OL a certainement besoin de Trapattoni maintenant, Romain.

STRONZO.

Yeah he's understandable for anyone who knows German.
