He thinks the music of the 18th century composer holds the key to the beautiful game.
Trapattoni said in the Irish Daily Mail
"A man who understands Mozart can also play better football. Mozart teaches you about tension, tempo, rhythm, structure. In his music you can learn the logic to read a game.
"For me in any case that was a big experience. I believe that through music I grew as a player and a man.
"Young players no longer have the patience for a symphony which takes an hour and which one must hear several times to understand.
"Sometimes the concentration would do them good. They think their whole lives happen on the pitch. They don't realise that they could learn a lot in the real world to improve their game.
"They sit with their MP3 players in the bench in the dressing room and are much too nervous before the game. I say to them sometimes 'why don't you listen to Bach?' But it gets harder to appreciate the classics in this culture.
"The best players know the real world, they find inspiration for their game in their lives away from the field."
