China Premier League (CPL)
In the 5th round of the tournament, Stanciu once again showed his skill in free kicks and gave a key assist to Ren Hang, which helped Wuhan Sanzhen beat Shanghai Seaport by 2-1. After five rounds of matches, Wuhan Three Town is at the top of the Chinese Super League table with 13 points with 4 wins and 1 draw. Former international footballer Li Yi couldn't help but marvel in his commentary of the match, "Stancourt does have Champions League level strength."

The golden dollar era seems to have come to an end, but Stanciu, who was brought in by promoted Wuhan Sanzhen for only 4 million euros, has become the new king of the bidding. Despite the low transfer fee, Stanchou's performance in the Chinese Super League has been a descending blow, contributing 2 goals and 3 assists in the first 5 rounds of matches, averaging 1 goal made per game.
The 29-year-old Romanian international Stanciu, who played for Slavia Prague last season, has made 14 Champions League appearances in his career, including 12 as a debutant, and has played against six major giants, including Chelsea, Bayern, Grand Paris, Dortmund, Barcelona and Inter Milan. Three years ago, he also led Slavia Prague to all six group stage matches of the 19/20 Champions League as a starter.
Currently, Stanciu is valued at 5.5 million euros in the German Transfer Market data, ranking second among Chinese Super League players after Oscar (15 million euros). Unfortunately, Oscar was unable to play in this round's match between Wuhan Three Town and Shanghai Seaport, and the two top midfielders were unable to go head-to-head.
Stanciu's highlights of the game -
1. Assisted Renhang with a header from a set piece
This is the fourth time Stancho has helped Wuhan Sanzhen score from a set piece in five rounds of the Chinese Super League (CSL) this season, after scoring two direct free kicks against Guangzhou and assisting Malcolm's score from a free kick in the Wuhan derby.
2. Modric-style direct outside-the-boot kicks
Stanciu's assist showed the threat he poses once again, with an outswinging pass through the harbor defense that Feng Jin slipped on as he tried to intercept, although U23 youngster Xu Hao Yang's one-touch shot could not be converted into a goal.
3. World-class stopping + teasing Stanley Wong
Stanciu received a long ball from a teammate with world-class stopping and crossing skills, only that his final shot failed to continue his previous great performance.
