Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man.

Judging from the process, the negotiations between the two parties are progressing relatively smoothly. After two months of long negotiations, both Manchester United and Real Madrid have almost confirmed De Gea's transfer. Many local media such as Spanish National Television have made it clear that Real Madrid and Manchester United have officially completed the transaction on this matter, and that De Gea joining Los Blancos is a definite fact.

The details disclosed by other media are even richer. At that time, Los Blancos' main goalkeeper Navas seemed to be included in the deal as an add-on to achieve the so-called exchange with De Gea.

But judging from the final result, everyone should already know that not only did De Gea not join Real Madrid, but he still plays for Manchester United until now.

Many fans will definitely feel regretful: Why did a seemingly certain deal fall through at the last minute?

Could it be that one of Real Madrid and Manchester United temporarily regretted the decision that caused De Gea's transfer to fail?

After subsequent disclosures from various parties, De Gea's transfer has actually been very smooth. Until the last moment, neither Manchester United nor Real Madrid changed their attitude towards the deal.

But what is unimaginable is that it was actually problems with Real Madrid's "hardware facilities" that caused the transaction to go wrong at the last moment.

In this way, De Gea, who was supposed to step into the Bernabeu, returned to Manchester United at the last moment. The Spanish national goalkeeper, who once forced a training strike and was even sent to the stands by coach Louis van Gaal, still appears on the Red Devils' main roster in the new season. , and later completed a contract extension with Manchester United, and has stayed at Dream Theater to this day.

Navas, who was widely rumored to join Manchester United as an extra, did not make the trip. The Costa Rican goalkeeper played for Real Madrid until the 2018-19 season, and then joined Paris.

What happened in it that caused such a huge change in the originally confirmed transfer?

In fact, the reason is very simple. According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid had completed the registration document for De Gea, but they failed to submit the registration document to the headquarters of the Spanish Professional Football League in time.

根据西甲的相关规定，所有球队需要在当地时间9月1日凌晨零时前把转会注册文件上交到西甲官方。但皇马提交的文件在9月1日凌晨00:28才出现在西甲总部，整整超时了28分钟。

There is another saying that the timeout for De Gea's registration file is shorter, even only one minute, and there are even exaggerated claims that the timeout is only 20 seconds.

However, these claims have not been officially verified, and there may be the possibility that the media has exaggerated in pursuit of traffic. But in any case, it is a fact that De Gea was not able to join Real Madrid due to some inexplicable equipment factors.

Why was such an important transfer submitted late?

Real Madrid and Manchester United are both well-known top clubs in world football. Why do they make such low-level mistakes in handling major events such as player transfers?

From Real Madrid's side, it is more believed that Manchester United made major mistakes in the handling of transfer operations. "Aspen" publicly stated that the reason why De Gea was not successfully signed was entirely because Manchester United sent the relevant registration documents to Real Madrid too late.

They said that Manchester United did not send De Gea's relevant registration documents to Real Madrid until 8:31 on August 23. However, due to a fax failure, this document did not appear on the La Liga table as scheduled, causing De Gea to fail to register at the last moment.

Manchester United's response was straightforward. The problem lies entirely with Real Madrid.

Manchester United also issued a statement on social media, saying that the relevant claims of "AS" were completely based on rumors and that it had sent the document to Real Madrid within a limited time in full compliance with relevant regulations.

The real problem was Real Madrid's own fax machine. Real Madrid failed to complete the relevant steps in time because the fax machine malfunctioned when uploading documents.

Faced with Manchester United's statement, AS reported once again. Their reporter wrote that Manchester United did send the file to Real Madrid on time, but the format of the file they sent had obvious problems, which caused the relevant staff of Real Madrid to be unable to use the operating system to open it. After several struggles, the file was in vain. I wasted a lot of time and finally missed the registration.

At the same time, media supporting Real Madrid broke another detail, believing that De Gea's deal collapse was inextricably linked to Navas.

They believe that after De Gea's transfer deal was formalized, Real Madrid and Manchester United were again negotiating the details of Navas' transfer.

But at this time, Navas and his agent were dissatisfied with some details in the specific contract, which caused Real Madrid to have to make modifications at the last minute, thus wasting a lot of time.

There are still many opinions on the specific details of the De Gea deal falling through, but we can at least be sure that neither Real Madrid nor Manchester United had a big impact because of this deal.

De Gea later made it clear:

"I felt that extending my contract with Manchester United was the best thing for me at that moment and I'm really happy to be able to stay at the biggest club in the world where I feel so much love from the fans."

To this day, De Gea still plays for Manchester United. His performance may not be as brilliant as at his peak, but he is still a vital link in the Red Devils' defense.

Although Navas did not join Manchester United, he has proven his strength with outstanding performances in Paris since then. Now he is also performing well in Paris, France.

Originally, a farce like De Gea's failed transfer was embarrassing enough, but what people didn't expect was that Real Madrid would once again suffer from a fax machine problem at a critical moment, which even directly affected the team's results.

故事仍然发生在2015年，在2015~16赛季的国王杯1/16决赛首回合。

Real Madrid challenged Cadiz, a third-tier league team, away from home. Due to the large strength gap between the two sides, Los Blancos did not field a strong BBC combination in that game, and their defense backbone Ramos was also absent due to injury. .

In that game, Los Blancos only used half of the main lineup, and winger Cheryshev from Russia entered the starting lineup for the first time in a long time.

But what people didn't expect was that the Russian winger, who didn't play much in Los Blancos, caused a lot of trouble because of his first start. The reason actually came from Real Madrid's fax machine.

Cheryshev played for Villarreal in La Liga in the 2014-15 season.

During that season, the Russian winger received an automatic one-match suspension for receiving three yellow cards in the Copa del Rey.

Even if he joins Real Madrid in the new season, according to the relevant regulations of La Liga, this suspension penalty will not be canceled due to the player's transfer. Cheryshev should continue to implement this suspension in the new season at Real Madrid. race.

But what is embarrassing is that the relevant teams of Real Madrid did not seem to be prepared in advance. They were not aware of the fact that Cheryshev still had to accept the competition.

In the 1/16 finals against Cadiz, Cheryshev still started and scored a goal in that game. Together with Isco's brace, he helped Real Madrid win. Defeated the opponent 3:1 away from home.
