Germanys young football star Jamal Musiala talks about his chess skills in a SPIEGEL-interview.

Musiala: Unfortunately, I'm not as good as I used to be at school in the chess club. (...) I think chess is cool, it's good to take your mind off soccer for a bit.

Musiala: I have to anticipate. That's exactly what I do as a footballer. I have to know where the ball is going to go. I have to anticipate what the opponent is going to do. And I always have to think two or three steps ahead.
