China coach Marcello Lippi revealed a relaxed approach to penalty shoot-outs on Saturday but declared key man Wu Lei fit to face Thailand in their Asian Cup knockout tie.

Although Sunday's last-16 game could go to penalties, Lippi, 70, said there was little point practising spot-kicks, and that he hadn't yet decided who would take them.

The old-school approach is at odds with the intricate preparations of the likes of Gareth Southgate, who masterminded England's penalties win over Colombia at last year's World Cup.
