Real Valladolid captain Alberto Marcos has called on his team-mates to continue their recent good form when they take on Espanyol on Sunday afternoon.

Los Pucelanos thrashed Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 in their last match in the Primera Division before beating Mallorca in the Copa del Rey in midweek, and Marcos believes that the team are reaping the benefits of a confidence boost.

"The head is the boss," Marcos explained to Marca.

"We know that when we are good, we are a tough team but we did not trust in ourselves. Now, everyone has a bit more confidence and we are taking things to heart, which is the important thing."

However, Marcos knows that Espanyol will be a difficult side to beat on their home turf.

"They have started pretty well. They are a difficult team who will do everything to score a goal, and we will have to do even better than that."
