Trap refutes resignation request Wednesday 16 October, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The noose is tightening on Giovanni Trapattoni’s neck and he refused to comment on whether or not he would resign.
When asked if his position had changed following the 2-1 defeat to Wales, Trap walked off saying “I can’t talk about this right now. I can’t talk.”
Before that escape the Italy boss had stopped to discuss the game and continued to defend his decisions.
“I’d say we had an excellent performance,” assured the tactician. “Gigi Di Biagio was already booked and I had to replace him.”
“When we conceded that unfortunate second goal I tried our last desperate throw of the dice with Massimo Marazzina, but it wasn’t enough.”
Wales now top qualifying Group 9 with six points from two games, but Italy have played one more match and still share second spot with Yugoslavia.
Nonetheless, Trap remained upbeat on their qualifying chances for the Euro 2004 Finals in Portugal.
“We are second level on points with Yugoslavia now and must face Wales and Azerbaijan on home turf. It’s still all to play for, but the road ahead is certainly more difficult than it was before this match.”
As expected, Trapattoni looked to the injury crisis that hit the team ahead of these two games that ruled out stars such as Christian Vieri and Francesco Totti.
“These were the players at my disposal and we had a lot of injuries. I tried including Massimo Maccarone and even Vincenzo Montella wasn’t 100% fit.”
FIGC Vice-President Giancarlo Abete had backed Giovanni Trapattoni on Tuesday, but conceded that there would be crisis talks with their Coach.
“The Federation realises this is a very complex situation after this bitter defeat,” said Abete.
“We realise that the Azzurri team is no longer as competitive as it was against opponents that we really should be able to beat.”
“We will look into this complex matter and try to discover where the responsibilities lie.”
The Italian FA nonetheless tried not to hit the panic button.
“There is room for recovery, but there is no more chance for mistakes. We must recover our strength and try to get back into the qualifying spots over the next five games.”
“There are moments of reflection to see how we could progress over the next period. I do confirm what I said yesterday as we had taken such a result, unfortunately, into consideration.”

The point is not Vieri... This NT is pathetic... I understand he don't want to risck his healt just to damage his image.
I think the FIGC is just a group of clown! If I was them after the match vs Yugoslavia I wuould make the U21 to play also today... they are way much better! 4 the votes... I will give 4 to everybody and -10 to Trapattoni!
I hope he will go away! If he has a minimum of respect 4 himself he will go away!!!
