I thought I rememberd Ruud Van Nistelrooy used to say. He tried to produce to produce some beautiful goals back in his early days. The coach, if I am not mistaken is Marco Van Basten. So in order to produce some beautiful goals, he failed many times and when he scored, he pointed it out "See, how I put the balls in?" Then the coach said to him that, u don't have to produce beautiful goals. Just put the balls in. And the rest is history.

For me, "Beautiful football vs Result-Orientated Football", we have to get to basic. I think, back in our young days, when we still doesn't know about clubs, we watch football because we want to see goals. So, if the result is always 4-0 for Man Utd vs Name-Any-Club, I think I'll be satisfied, doesn't matter it is beautiful game or not. What I wouldn't want to see is, if Man Utd vs Small-Clubs, we score 1 against them in some unimportant game and we play negatively.
