Germany, who crushed hosts Brazil 7-1, were already 5-0 up at half-time in Belo Horizonte. According to reports yesterday, Hummels was quoted as saying: "We just made it clear that we had to stay focused and not try to humiliate them. "We said we had to stay serious and concentrate at half-time. That's something you don't have to show on the pitch if you are playing.
