Kuyt seeks confidence boost

Dirk Kuyt insists Liverpool will head to Real Madrid on Wednesday with no fear despite recent results. The Reds have seen their Premier League title aspirations take a battering of late, with a 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Sunday leaving them seven points adrift of leaders Manchester United.Kuyt bagged Liverpool's leveller at the weekend, ensuring damage limitation, but believes there is plenty more to come from Rafa Benitez's side.The Dutchman admits that Real's current form, which includes nine consecutive Primera Liga victories, should be respected, but insists a positive result in the Spanish capital is within reach."What we must do is turn our attention to the next big game in Madrid, we must concentrate on getting the right result there," said Kuyt."If we do that in Madrid it will boost our confidence as we try to win the final league games."Whatever seems to be happening in our league matches, we always seem to turn in a good performance in the Champions League.Quality"Madrid will be tough, we must be ready. But we believe we can get the right result there."I watched Real Madrid on TV on Saturday scoring six against Real Betis, they were excellent. I always make sure I watch them when I can because they have such quality."We are not scared of them. When you get beyond the group stages of the Champions League everyone there is a good team."It will be a fantastic game for us. I have never played in the Bernabeu, it is one of those great stadiums I have on my list to play at, and that chance is here."So that is an incentive to do well and produce my best form. And if we do get a good result there, it will give us a good lift."He added: "That is what we want. We are sure we can beat sides with the quality of Madrid. We have shown that this season."We have beaten Chelsea twice, we have beaten Manchester United and we know we can do it. We just have to be ready."
