Trapattoni positive after Ireland display real ‘personality’

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni was in bullish mood after the 0-0 draw in Stockholm which keeps alive hopes of qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil next year.

The veteran Italian insisted: “We started very well, the team started with confidence, personality with good determination and I think we deserved this result”.

Trapattoni believes that Ireland’s impressive draw against Sweden can help in the construction of a new “personality” for his team.
