Jesús Nieto Jurado: Raúl Tamudo: faithful mythology

In life there are changes, but there are those who beat a heart that brings together the game with a double vision: the first to the network cloth, the second in the background that idol in a symbiotic relationship. Tamudo is as heritage as the advertising of the canning Dani.

Thinking about Espanyol is thinking about him, the ‘tamude’ at Camp Nou. Let’s say Raúl Tamudo, with infarction figures in the league, was the one that worked miracles with a youth smile that still maintains today. Despite everything. Despite the knee made some foxes, Tamudo took the constitutionalism in football to the Catalan field, which in the other team of his city, also ours, a Brazilian kissed, deceived, the stele after three nights without sleep after the goal.

Although what matters here is the shoe of Tamudo, dry, effective, to wear a team behind him and that knee injury that has put it, already removed, in the fascinating world of ‘Indoor’ cycling. He is a hero who had bad calls in the selection, although he gave it, when he could, all for Spain. In his recital of goals, in his pundonor, there was a knee that was the skinny point of the hero. In the memory of the fans, the fateful year of 2000, when he was wanted to sell, with the contradiction of Tamudo and the public, to the Glasgow Rangers.

The medical examination ruled out and was, with all the paradoxical, a bright moment. His mother cried with emotion because Tamudo is a moral livelihood of the Spanishists, not a mere element of purchase and sale. He had a happy time in the Royal Society, whose chromatism almost brought him memories of his house. Then to the Mexican Pachuca, where he did not curdle. He is remembered how the mythical Rafael Marañón is remembered. His fidelity is scarce in this faded football.
