When it comes to playing in a cup final, most coaches would compromise aesthetics to raise the cup after 90 minutes (or after 120 minutes and PK's...as it was for Manchester United last season).
On the eve of the 2009 UEFA Champions League final between Manchester United and FC Barcelona, David Ornstein of BBC Sport caught up with United central defender Nemanja Vidic - Vidic certainly has his priorities in line when it comes towards winning titles.
Nemanja Vidic is sure Manchester United will beat Barcelona in the Champions League final - and does not care about the style in which they do it.
Wednesday's match in Rome pits holders United against the team regarded as the most attractive in Europe this season.
But United defender Vidic, 27, told BBC Sport: "All that matters is the result, you'll quickly forget about the style.
"Football is not about the style - it's about the winning and we have the confidence and belief to do it."
The Serbia international added: "I don't think we are arrogant - we respect Barcelona but we believe in ourselves and in the players we have.
"We won the league and have reached the Champions League final so we have to believe we can win it. We know it's going to be a hard game and have big jobs to do but we are excited and we will try to hurt them."
