Like almost every day, Julien Battesti plays a football match with players from all over the world, from his room in Draveil (Essonne).
At 17, he is a true football prodigy, but on the small screen.
It's not with his feet that he performs feats, but with a controller in his hands.
The young Essonnian, known online under the pseudonym DraXx, is a budding competitor in the famous video game Fifa – which now operates under the name EA Sports FC 24.
Latest feat of arms: this Antoine Griezmann fan won the departmental final of the e-Coupe de France.
This new tournament organized on the Fifa game is open to licensees of the French Football Federation (FFF).
With twelve victories for zero defeats, the Draveil high school student won the right to represent the department during the Île-de-France regional final organized this Saturday March 16 in Paris.
If he qualifies, he will be able to access the national final in Clairefontaine (Yvelines) in May, where professional players from e-Ligue 1 will be present.
