At the end of this month, Wuhan Sanzhen foreign aid Nicolae Stanciu will return home to prepare for the Euro 2024 qualifiers. What worries the Romanian media is that Stanciu has not played an official match since the end of December last year, and his competitive status is difficult to guarantee. In this regard, the president of the Romanian Football Federation, Razvan Buleanu, showed great relaxation. According to him, Stanciu will arrive early to report to the national team and conduct special training, and he is very satisfied with Stanciu's attitude.

Stanciu, as the absolute core of Romania, joined Wuhan Sanzhen last season and led the team to create the "Kaiserslautern Miracle (promotion horse to win the championship)". Although the famous Romanian player has already accomplished the feat of "winning the title in four countries" (Stanciu has won the BIG, Czech Ligue 1, Luo Ligue 1 and the Chinese Super League), in the opinion of the national team head coach Jorda Nescu, Stanciu's decision to go to China to play football is not a wise one.

In a previous interview, Eduard Jordǎnescu said in no uncertain terms:He totally disagreed with Stanciu's decision to join Wuhan Sanzhen, but as the head coach of the national team, he could only express his understanding and acceptance. That said, last September, Stancho accepted Jordǎnescu's call-up for the first time and participated in the UEFA Nations League as captain.
At the end of this month, Romania will face Andorra and Belarus in the European qualifiers. Considering the injury to Iannis Hagi, Jordǎnescu will still build an attacking system around Stanciu, and even keep the latter as captain (note: original captain Kirikesh adjusted the list for injury).
Obviously, Stanciu knows how much the head coach values and suspects him. In order to balance the relationship between club and national team, he will also arrive in Bucharest early to undergo special training with the national team. In this regard, the president of the Football Association, Razvan Burlyanu, also publicly confirmed:- "The Super League has not started yet, he will only be able to play some warm-up matches with the team, but the good thing is that Nikola Stanciu will arrive in Bucharest early, and then undergo a special training session with the coaching staff."
Meanwhile, Burreanu also confirmed that Kirikesh will be withdrawn from training due to injury: "Kirikesh's withdrawal is a huge loss for the national team. We hope that he will recover soon and return to the national team in June. At the same time, we also hope that there will be no other injuries in the national team."
