We Are Going To Madrid To Win - Cúper
Héctor Cúper is putting on a brave face ahead of Real Betis' visit to Real Madrid on Thursday and sees no reason why his side cannnot cause a surprise.
The Argentinian coach is not feeling down despite not tasting victory yet this season and hopes that the midweek game can lift spirits at the Andalucian club.
Betis were beaten by Valencia on Sunday, but Cúper believes that there is not reason why they should be scared of playing Madrid.
"Even though it is a very difficult place to go, we will go there with the idea of winning," he said.
"Nobody can deny that we have a chance.
"It has come at a difficult time, not for us on the pitch but so soon after playing our previous game on Sunday which affected the players and has made them more nervous.
"I think that we can limit that and I think that game on Thursday will generate adrenalin in us."
After drawing their opening two matches and then losing the next couple, Betis have made a poor start to the season and Cúper admitted that things needs to change.
"I expect the childish mistakes from the past few weeks to be stopped, but they are collective mistakes and we have been working on them in training," he added.

Ruud Doubtful For Betis, Salgado And Drenthe Out
Real Madrid coach Bernd Scuster has made more than a few changes to his squad to face Real Betis at the Bernabeu on Thursday evening.
Gabriel Heinze has returned to the squad, with Michel Salgado being left out of the five-man defensive pool. Sergio Ramos may be called upon to play centre-back once more as Pepe and Metzelder's injury woes continue.
Royston Drenthe (pictured), too, has been rested, with either Sneijder or Robben set to take to the first XI for the visit of the Beticos.
But the biggest news of all is up front. Raul, contrary to earlier expectations, has not been rested. Indeed, he may be called upon to start alongside Javier Saviola, following the news that Ruud van Nistelrooy is doubtful with a calf injury.
The Merengues remain top of La Liga despite drawing 1-1 with Real Valladolid on Sunday evening.
The squad list in full:
Goalkeepers: Casillas, Dudek.
Defenders: Miguel Torres, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Heinze, Marcelo.
Midfielders: Robinho, Diarra, Guti, Sneijder, Gago, Robben.
Attackers: Raul, Saviola, Van Nistelrooy, Baptista, Higuain.
