‘Espanyol have to be focused’

Paco Montanes wants a focused Espanyol against Real Madrid and welcomed the planned tribute to the retiring Raul Tamudo.

Tamudo this week announced he was hanging up his boots and the club with which he is most closely associated will honour the striker prior to kick off.

“Tamudo is an idol and it’s very good that the club is recognising him,” Montanes said, Sport reports.

“We have to be very focused and not make mistakes. We’ll have to endure and keep our nerve because Madrid will have chances.

“If you go looking for goals you take more risks, but at the same time you engage the fans. It’s a decision we have to take.”
