Blatter made his remarks to delegates at the FIFA Congress less than a week after Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on spot-kicks to win the Champions League.
He said: "Football can be a tragedy when you go to penalty kicks. Football is a team game, when it goes to one against one football loses its essence. "Perhaps Franz
Beckenbauer, with his Football 2014 group, can show us a solution, perhaps not today but in the future."
Beckenbauer — who won the World Cup with Germany as both a player and manager was among the delegates at the congress — was not immediately available for comment but his views are well known on the matter.
The German legend has said he would rather have penalties than either a golden or silver goal which were used briefly to determine matches.
