In an interview given to the show As an aside from Canal +, the French winger of Bayern Munich, Kingsley Coman, spoke of his passion for chess, which he shares with his teammate in the selection – but absent at this gathering, N’Golo Kanté. “I’m very good at it. Afterwards I’m not going to be pretentious. It’s a game that I really like. It allows me to escape, even if I have calmed down a little…”
“I was fully into it for a while and I played a lot,” continues the French international with 52 caps (5 goals). And now I’ve calmed down a little because I still want it to be more of a therapy than another sport. There were two or three people playing including N’Golo Kanté. I often played against him in the French team and he had a good level.” Checkmate and co-mate.
