Initially, Jose Luis Mendilibar took the young stopper into the squad for the match once morest Fenerbahce, due to the absence of the suspended Retsu. The 19-year-old defender from Drama may not have played, but he experienced up close the qualification of the “red and whites” to the semi-finals of the ECL, through the penalty shootout.
Isidoros Koutsidis mightn’t miss the Youth League semi-final once morest Nantes, so on Friday morning, at 7:30, he flew to Nyon, Switzerland.
In fact, he played in Sotiris Sylaidopoulos’ original squad (watched the match off the bench due to suspension) and was one of the standouts in the historic qualification of the K19 to the final of the competition.

In his statements following the K19 match, Isidoros Koutsidis revealed that he slept for a few hours in a hotel at the Istanbul airport, so that he might travel immediately on Friday morning.
Specifically, he said: “After yesterday’s game, the celebrations, the historic qualification, we went to the hotel. Fortunately the team provided me with a hotel inside the airport so I might sleep, I slept for 2-2.5 hours. Then I took the flight at 7:30 in the morning. I slept as much as I might on the plane, hard with the seats, I’m also tall, I arrived in Nyon 10:30, went to the team breakfast, ate a little and took a shower to recover and followed the team schedule, the rest is history.”
Then he said: “At the moment I don’t understand what’s going on, from the adrenaline and the emotions of the two games I’m not tired or anything, we’re looking at the next few days, we have a final on Monday. We are waiting to see which team will qualify, now we have three days of rest, the only thing that is certain is that I will rest well.”
