In the next game he took part in, he was against Israel last September, in which he replaced Nini again, due to a serious injury.
On February 9, 2011, he scored his first goal with the blue and whites. He was in a friendly game at the "AEL FC Arena" in Larissa against Canada. In fact, he was the only scorer of the match (1-0).
The international midfielder has scored two more goals with the jersey of our representative team. It was last June against Malta for the Euro 2012 qualifiers to be held in Poland and Ukraine.
The 21-year-old ace could not go unnoticed even by the foreign media, which characterize him as the Greek… Messi!
A recent article in the British "Daily Mail" is typical:
"Fetfatzidis is characterized as the Messi of Greece due to his abilities to control the ball so well. Not only that, but Fetfatzidis was able to give the victory in the Champions League against Marseille in Velodrome, France. The young midfielder is the hope of the Greek team for success in the European championship ".
