In addition to playing a key role in the transfer of Milos Vukovic, Hulay also became a key figure in another important transfer.
That was the transfer deal that saw Ismail Kamara move from Leeds City to Madrid Pirates.
Leeds City originally did not intend to sell their star winger. On the one hand, it was because Kamara was very important, and on the other hand, of course, because the price offered by Madrid Pirates did not reach their psychological price.
Leeds City originally hoped to sell Kamara for more than 100 million euros.
But Madrid Pirates said they were only willing to pay up to 75 million euros.
In the end, Ismael Kamara went to the club, hoping that the club would be kind and let him leave.
It is said... It is said that there are rumors on the Internet that Kamara said that if the club agrees for him to go to Madrid Pirates, then he is willing to give up his signing fee and compensate the signing fee to Leeds City Club.
Although neither Leeds City nor Kamara acknowledged this rumor, they did not deny it either...
No one knows exactly how the two parties negotiated.
Anyway, the final result was that Kamara left Leeds City and joined Julay's Madrid Pirates.
His departure has to make people wonder whether it has something to do with Hu Lai.
Some people speculate that it may have been Hulay's call to Kamara that made him so determined to leave Leeds City.
However, this matter was quickly refuted by Leeds City captain Pete Williams. He told reporters: "I called Hu and he told me that he was busy with the Olympic Games and had not paid attention to the transfer at all.
He neither called Ismail nor did Ismail contact him. He didn’t know that Ismail had gone to Madrid until I called him..."
But some reporters said: "Whether Hu has called Kamara or not, one thing is certain - Kamara's insistence on going to Madrid Pirates must have something to do with him. The two of them were good partners when they were in Leeds City.
Kamala obviously hopes to renew her relationship with the Pirates..."
Last season, Leeds City only finished eighth in the league and missed the Champions League and Europa League in the new season.
Their results were hampered by their failure in the Champions League and Europa League last season.
This is also the team's worst season since successfully avoiding relegation.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for Kamara to want to leave the team - since a wealthy club has taken a fancy to him, why should he continue to stay on this team?
He does not have the same affection for this team as Peter Williams. This summer, the latter has rejected several invitations from the Premier League to force G6, saying that he will always stay in Leeds City. And he firmly believes that his performance last season will not
This will be the norm for Leeds City in the future. With more signings and further integration, this team will definitely become a championship contender in the future.
For Kamara, going to Madrid Pirates can be with his friend Hulay and win the championship. Why not?
So just like that, the two parties closed the deal for 76 million euros.
Of course, the 76 million euros will be paid in five years.
After Leeds City lost Hulay last season, Kamara was poached by Madrid Pirates.
In response to this transfer transaction, some Chinese fans joked: "Leeds City caught Flash Star and plucked a sheep hard, and Madrid Pirates caught Leeds City and plucked it hard, a perfect food chain!"
The joining of Vukovic and Kamara has greatly enhanced the strength of Madrid Pirates.
However, the joining of the two of them made the original forward Daniel Dikunzo a little nervous.
Last season, DiQuinzo was originally the main force of the Iron Fight. Although he couldn't compete with Hu Lai, he had the upper hand in the competition with Maxi Carey.
But as Carey regained his form, DiCunzo's position became a bit awkward.
Because although Carey plays the role of organizing midfielder, he is still a forward, so if Carey wants to play, Dikunzo's position will be threatened.
Fortunately, Parotti later found a solution, letting Di Kunzo go to the right wing to replace the ups and downs of Portuguese right midfielder Silverio.
But this is actually not a long-term solution, because Di Kunzo is a forward, not a right midfielder.
It's okay to make a cameo once in a while, but it's hard to keep him here for a long time.
So this summer, the Pirates bought Kamara, intending to completely solve the problem on the right side.
But if this happens... Dikunzo will have to return to the front line to compete with Maxi Carey.
At the same time, the club has also introduced Vukovic, a true organizing midfielder, who will definitely occupy Kyrie's space. Kyrie will continue to stay on the front line to partner with Hu Lai.
In this way, wouldn't the one who was sacrificed be Italian striker Di Kunzo?
So this summer there was news that Di Kunzo wanted to leave the team.
But fortunately, it was just a rumor in the end and did not really come true.
After all, Di Kunzo's personal ability is still very outstanding. His presence is also a very useful addition to the Madrid Pirates lineup, which can greatly enhance the thickness of the team and enrich the tactical changes.
The reason why DiCunzo chose to stay in the end may also be because Maxi Carey's contract will expire in another year. Once Carey leaves, all the problems DiCunzo is encountering will be solved.
The Italian is not stupid. He saw the ability shown by Julay and realized that as long as he can stay with the Madrid Pirates and get on this bus, he will not be afraid of being without honor in the future.
The Madrid Pirates also hope that Di Kunzo can continue to play for the team, so they are trying to renew Di Kunzo's contract.
However, Di Kunzo did not immediately agree to the Pirates' conditions, but decided to observe and observe first. Anyway, his contract with the Madrid Pirates still has three years left. Gu Kuan
He wants to see how the team positions him this season, and also wants to see what position he will have in the team after Maxi Carey's contract expires and leaves the team next season.
If he cannot be satisfied by then, he will have little time left on his contract and it will be easier for him to leave.
If I get hot-headed and renew my contract with the club now, won't I be squeezed out by the club and treated as I want? It won't be easy for me to leave by then.

Madrid Pirates have a lot of expenses this summer, which is why they are unwilling to pay more for Camara. Because they still need to save money to compete with other European giants for Dutch heavyweight talented center back Danny Drew.
In order to win this Dutch treasure, the Madrid Pirates had to pay a lot of price.
Fortunately, after almost two months of back-and-forth and fierce competition, when the transfer window closed in one week, the Madrid Pirates finally grabbed food from the Turin Bulls, Catalan United, Stan Park Rangers, etc.
A group of European giants grabbed Danny Drew.
The transfer fee is as high as 98 million euros!
Almost 100 million!
Danny Drew also set a transfer fee record for a centre-back and is now the most expensive centre-back in world football.
Even for a wealthy family, spending so much money in one summer is still very exaggerated.
After all, Madrid Pirates are not the kind of tycoons with oil capital. Spending so much money in one summer will put a lot of financial pressure on the team.
But they did it anyway.
Because Hulay's performance last season gave them hope of competing with the Kings of Madrid.
Last season, they defeated the Madrid Kings in the domestic league, snatched the league championship, and ruined the opponent's "Triple Crown" success.
Also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Hu Lai deserves the most credit for this achievement.
He scored 36 goals in the league last season, 16 goals in the Champions League and one goal in the Copa del Rey. He scored a total of 53 goals in various competitions on behalf of the club.
This performance is already outstanding, but Parotti told the club management that this is far from Hu Lai's limit.
Because the Madrid Pirates last season had many shortcomings and deficiencies in terms of their lineup.
It's like a leg is lame and one hand is tied up.
In this way, Hu Lai could score 53 goals.
What if pirates had healthy legs and hands?
In order to match Hulay's abilities and fully unleash his power, the club must invest more in the transfer market and introduce those people on Parotti's list.
These are the people the team needs most right now.
Hulay's outstanding performance convinced the management of the Pirates Club and made them willing to spend money to make a huge gamble.
This is indeed gambling:
If they invest so much money and bring in strong reinforcements, but do not get the results they want - especially a breakthrough in the Champions League - then this much investment will turn into a huge burden and burden for the team next season.
, and may even cause unrest in the club.
Head coach Parotti will inevitably be held responsible for the failure, so he will be dismissed.
The team's lineup will also undergo a major purge, and the team's tactics and concepts will change.
If the team cannot stabilize quickly, it may be difficult to predict the results in the next two or three seasons...
The club management can only believe in Parotti's promise now and believe what he said:
Hu Lai's energy has not yet been fully released.
He can also score more goals and bring more victories to the team.
But there is currently a very unfavorable factor, that is, the "hope of the village" missed all the team's training sessions before the start of the new season.
Can he quickly integrate with an enhanced team?
Can he recover from the fatigue of the Olympics and find the form and rhythm of playing in the club as soon as possible?
Finally, can he stay healthy this coming season?
These are all unknowns.
