Upson was not keen to become embroiled in a war of words with Beckenbauer, who led his team to World Cup glory as a player in 1974 and a coach in 1990.
But he does not feel there is any reason for England to be deflected from their chosen path.
''We will play the football that suits us best,'' said Upson, who was speaking on a visit to an SOS Village in Rustenburg to spend time with local children, many of whom have been orphaned.
''We want to win matches, so we will play the style according to that.
''Whatever he thinks about our style of play is his opinion. If we are accused of kick and rush but win something, I don't think many people would complain.''
Upson did admit England had been working hard on the training ground attempting to iron out the problems that surfaced at the weekend.
