In the 5th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Shanghai Seaport 2-1, with Stanciu's free kick assisting his teammate Ren Hang to score. With 4 wins and 1 draw, Wuhan Sanzhen is leading the Chinese Super League with 13 points. Former international soccer player Li Yi exclaimed in his commentary, "Stanciu does have Champions League experience and his strength is extraordinary."
Although the golden dollar era of the Chinese Super League has come to an end, Stanciu, who was introduced by Wuhan Sanzhen with 4 million euros, has become the king of the bidding. Even if the price is not high, Stanchou's performance in the Chinese Super League is a descending blow, the first 5 rounds he has contributed 2 goals and 3 assists, averaging 1 goal made.
The 29-year-old Romanian international Stanciu, who played for Slavia Prague, has made 14 appearances and 12 starts in the Champions League, playing against six major giants, including Chelsea, Bayern, Grand Paris, Dortmund, Barcelona and Inter. Three years ago, he played all six group games of the 19/20 Champions League season as a starter.
In the German transfer market, Stanciu is valued at 5.5 million euros, the second highest in the Chinese Super League, behind Oscar (15 million euros). Unfortunately, Oscar was unable to play in the match between Wuhan Sanzhen and Shanghai Harbor in this round, 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
It was the fourth time in five rounds of the Chinese Super League this season that Stancho has helped Wuhan Sanzhen score from a set-piece, having previously scored two direct free-kicks in a 6-0 thrashing of Guangzhou and assisted Malcolm's score from a free-kick in the Wuhan derby.
2. Modric-style straight outside foot stuffing
Stanciu hit the Harbor defense with precision with the outside of his foot, Feng Jin tried to intercept but stumbled, and only because U23 youngster Xu Hao Yang's one-touch goal failed to go in, otherwise Stanciu would have given another assist.
3. World-class stopping + teasing Stanley Wong
Stanciu received a long pass from a teammate with world-class stopping and crossing skills, only slightly regretting his final shot on goal.
