Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle admits winning the World Cup has transformed his confidence.
Schurrle says he now feels like a new player after winning the title with Germany.
"It has improved me enormously. Even my own appearance on the pitch has changed," says the 23-year-old.
"You can say: The chest has become wider thanks to the title, the confidence is greater.
"Now (in team talks) I have the standing to appeal even sometimes difficult things."
