Musiala recalled to Sportchau: "I have both a German and an English heart, and they both keep beating.
"I have thought a lot about the election, and in the end I had to listen to my feelings, which said I should turn out for Germany. But it wasn't easy.
"I had a really good and honest talk with Joachim Löw. He presented me with a clear and clear path to the national team.
"Low had clearly looked at and analyzed my weaknesses and strengths."
