From the "Strunz" of 1998 to the "holy shit" and "orcozzio" of the other night during the friendly Germany-Italy: Trap strikes again, to the sound of gaffes and blunders. There are just a few minutes left in the match in Munich, with the Azzurri succumbing 4-1, the ball reaches Okaka who, however, stumbles and misses the pass. So while the commentator Alberto Rimedio limits himself to the news ("deep passage by Okaka ... intervention by Mustafi"), here is the former coach in the background lets himself go to a more expressive "come on first ... no ... holy putt .. ”. A passionate comment that already in the first half had "baptized" Thiago Motta, who had just taken the ball away, with another eloquent "careful ... careful ... orcozzio".
“Phrases that have escaped me, what should I say? I'll leave if you want, but I don't apologize." Giovanni trapattoni, former coach of the Italian national team but also of Juventus, Inter, Bayern Munich, just to name the teams with which he won the most, claims the extenuating factor of emotional transport: "It's part of me". And to those who point out that “orcozio” is almost a blasphemy, he replies in an interview with La Repubblica: “Oh no, that's an exclamation that has always been mine, a popular way of saying in my area. I am a practicing Catholic, I have a sister who is a nun and I have brought the cruet with holy water to the bench: do you think I'm starting to swear blasphemies?”.
Trap also quoted a nice anecdote: “When I got home, my wife he asked me: 'John, what did you say?'. And I: 'Why, what have I done?'. 'I've recorded everything, take a look at yourself. For now, however, I confess: I haven't looked at myself yet, I will do it tonight ". In short the 77 years old from Cusano Milanino he doesn't give up: he has been in football since 1957, when he made his debut with the Milan shirt, with which he played 274 games, winning international cups and league titles. Since then a career like an old lion also on the bench: Trap is like this, without frills.
