It was a little difficult for me without family and friends. That helped me to be alone there, in a foreign country. I matured and I think that from a football point of view I grew, especially tactically. There focused on the tactical side.
I know myself with Rareș Pop, Cătălin (No – Vulturar) And Micovschi since I was at UTA, the big team.
(no – about the first experience on Giulești, at a fast – UTA, the river being unused reserve) I was shocked, honestly, when I first came here.
I was on the reserve bench and I know we were talking to a colleague and we were simply not heard, we were not, it was next to me. I can hardly wait, it seems wow and I can hardly wait to feel myself, ”said Raul Stanciu, for Rapid TV.

As a footballer I am a worker, soulful and modest. I have strength, speed and ambition. As a child I was and I will be with Ronaldo, I try to take it as an example as much as I can. I am a family member, with friends, family, all the time. I really like to train.
