Interesting the divide that exists between Trap and the Italian media. This story about Trap's return to Italy from lanzione.it features the 'cat in the sack' quote in the first paragraph.
EDIT: Here's what he told the Italian media about the latest match-fixing scandal, via the Telegraph:
"It is a devastating story," Trapattoni told Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian daily sports newspaper. "If the magistrates are doing something, it is because there is some truth in this.
"I, who have travelled abroad for some time, must say that we give an ugly image of our football.
"As an Italian, the first feeling is that we are mocked abroad, we are always linked to illicit dealings and are considered mafia members.
"This only damages us because I can claim to have paid the price for an attitude that affects everyone."
