He arrived in Italy, and the official debut could not be more beautiful. Patrick Viera was sent from the first minute to a easy match against a formation in the third echelon, LR Vicenza.

Stanciu, MVP at debut
Pianetagenoa1893, an online publication that follows any movement from Genoa, l-gave Nicolae Stanciu the best man of the match, with a note of 7.5: “He organized the offensive, scored a gorgeous goal. What could you want more from him?”.
I am very pleased with the team's performance. Stanciu and Carboni? We have new players who have adapted very quickly. It's a positive thing. Stanciu has brought experience and quality of the lot, brings a lot of calm to the game, can score, can offer decisive passes. Carboni is talented, but we still do not have it at maximum potential.
