KAZAN, July 5 (Sputnik) - Brazil head coach Tite said on Thursday that he would like some other method, rather then a penalty shootout, to be used in the World Cup knockout stage to determine the winners of a match that ends in a draw after extra time.
"It is very hard to take penalties in the shootout. If I could decide, I wouldn't want the result of a game to be determined by penalties. I would have come up with something else, but I don't know what exactly yet. Of course we are practicing the penalties. We are learning to control our emotions," Tite told journalists.
Three out of eight round of 16 matches at this summer's World Cup went to penalties, with hosts Russia, Croatia and England prevailing in their respective shootouts.
Brazil will take on Belgium in the quarter-finals in Kazan on Friday.
