The Republic of Ireland managed a strong 1-1 draw in the Euro 2012 qualification tie away to Slovakia on Tuesday.
Trapattoni said: “I thought Shane Long and Keith Fahey played great games. For the future we can have confidence in them knowing the options we have in the squad.
“We have time in the future, our next game is a friendly. I can maybe play one or two other young players and we can start the qualification again with more confidence.”
