Mats Hummels calls for Germany World Cup final focus

Hummels calls for Germany focus

Germany defender Mats Hummels has demanded that his teammates focus on the World Cup final rather than dwell on the manner of victory over Brazil.

The Borussia Dortmund centre-back was substituted early in the second half of their 7-1 victory over the Selecao, but the 25-year-old is already looking ahead to Sunday's big game.

"We think of it now, enjoy it and show our best on Sunday," the 25-year-old defender told reporters.

"It was surprisingly quiet. You can also say without being arrogant - we have known for over an hour that we are through and that is different from tight games when you feel high emotion at full-time.

"This is really something special, what each individual has done. And we will now try with everything we have to have to make the big dream come true."

Hummels scored the winning goal in Germany's quarter-final win over France.
