Nicolae Stanciu celebrated with emotion. Most of his teammates held their heads, amazed at the masterpiece that their captain had just created. Continuing that excitement, the Romanian team scored 2 more goals in the second half, winning a surprising 3-0 victory over Ukraine . More notably, after 24 years, this was only the 2nd victory of the Romanian team at EURO. In 2000, Nicolae Stanciu's predecessors won a thrilling 3-2 victory over England.

Romania coach Edward Iordanescu could not hide his emotions and celebrated enthusiastically with his players. He said: "I want to thank all Romanians everywhere in the world . I know that they are with us today. My team has done a great job. If you had any doubts, I think you have a different perspective now. It's unbelievable."

After a moment of choking up, Mr. Edward Iordanescu continued: "Since becoming the national team coach, I have gone through difficult moments. Things have not always been easy. Apart from this match, I have had many other great and trying performances.

The Romanian team had a golden period, with great performances. However, unlike the previous talented ones, this generation represents the soul, spirit and love of football. Having big hearts, giving everything like this team, I am sure no one has ever done it before".

On the opposite side, coach Serhiy Rebrov of the Ukrainian team was very sad. He also choked up: "Obviously there were things that were too different in this match. We had the ball but did not create any chances. The whole team did not perform at their level, no one expected this result. We had a very serious match but lost. The coaching staff and the players have to talk to each other, get ready for the next match against Slovakia."

Hero Nicolae Stanciu's road to EURO 2024 is not easy

Born in Alba Iulia, a small Romanian city of 58,000 people, no one would have thought that Nicolae Stanciu would one day captain his country or play in the European Championships. But in 71 appearances, Nicolae Stanciu has scored 15 goals for Romania. At 31, Nicolae Stanciu has surely scored one of the best goals of his career.

Nicolae Stanciu just had a masterpiece against the Ukraine team

Nicolae Stanciu started his professional career at Unirea Alba Iulia before moving to FC Vaslui. Here, Nicolae Stanciu did not even have shoes to train with and his parents had to ask for help from relatives so that he could pursue his passion for football. Despite the poverty, Nicolae Stanciu always tried his best and his talent was discovered. The Romanian captain went on to join Steaua Bucureti (now FCSB, Romania). At Steaua, his excellent performances caught the eye of Anderlecht scouts and he moved to Belgium in 2016.

But then persistent injuries forced Nicolae Stanciu to wander to Sparta Prague (Czech Republic) and now to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia. When Nicolae Stanciu was chosen as captain of the national team, many people doubted and continuously criticized him. However, today's excellent performance against the Ukrainian team was Nicolae Stanciu's strong response.

The moment that Nicolae Stanciu brought certainly made all Romanian fans satisfied

The Romania captain said: "I have never felt anything like this before. My brothers, my father and my wife were all in tears. I want to thank them all and I hope Romania can continue to do great things. I scored an important goal in my career. The national team shirt means everything to me. To score at a EURO and win it is unbelievable."
