In Portsmouth, live TV footage showed Red Rebels players celebrating a goal on the pitch!

Redknapp has to admit that this is a very strong team!

How strong is it, exactly?

Judging from this game, Redknapp even believes that the Red Rebels are definitely the most serious contenders for the Champions League even if they reach the Premier League, and their players are still young and have unlimited potential.

In front of the magic quartet, Drogba is already a famous center forward in England, although the center forward does not have a high goal rate, but the tactical role is quite large, is the type of player that any manager will like, and his performance in the last two seasons has improved a lot.

Hleb is a famous player in England, Arsenal, Manchester United and many other Premier League teams covet him, and even several big teams in Germany and Italy are interested in him, he is the best and most consistent star of the Red Rebels in recent seasons, and he is still very young.

Robben doesn't need to say, the Dutch teenager has attracted the attention of many teams in the Eredivisie, after coming to the Red Rebels, although the club did not give him the core main force, but that is to protect him, look at the healthy Robben, fast, sharp breakthroughs, can play on the left and right wings, and his progress over the past year is also obvious to all, and is now known as another emerging talented winger in the European arena.

Also dubbed a genius is Ronaldo, the Portuguese's skill is simply dazzling, but Mourinho's transformation of him this season has been quite successful, his performances are becoming more concise, his scoring ability is improving, and his future achievements will certainly not be lost to Robben.

As for Kaka, the whole world knows that he is a rising star in Brazil, the attacking core of the current Red Rebels, and countless big teams are watching him, and he is the hottest new star in Europe today.

These players have been the main players of the Red Rebels this season and have performed very well, but Kaka appeared in the starting lineup in this game, which made Redknapp a little happy, and he thought that the Red Rebels were there to stay for the next league game.

But look at Franck Ribery, look at Palacio's performance, and look at Villa, the Spanish youngster who replaced Didier Drogba, is this really a substitute for the Red Rebels?

In the 45th minute of the first half, the Spanish teenager Villa scored a hat-trick, Juninho Jr. and Palacio also scored a goal each, the Red Rebels led Millwall 5-0, Kaka scored a hat-trick of assists, Ribery and Philippe? Lahm's left flank completely broke Millwall's right flank.

Is this still a League One game?

It was nothing short of a massacre!

Redknapp has to admit that the Red Rebels players showed very, very strong strength in this game, as well as the fighting, on the other hand, Millwall, the players' form is sluggish, coupled with the influence of the Red Rebels fans, they can't play their usual strength.

But even if it were, it wouldn't have been poured 5 goals in the first half!

The only plausible explanation is that the Red Rebels are too strong!

"In midfield, Millwall should think carefully about how to restrain the Red Rebels' attack, otherwise they will concede goals!" The assistant coach next to him said worriedly.

The next to face the Red Rebels was Portsmouth, and they couldn't be happier to see their opponents in such amazing form in front of them.

You know, this is still the case of many main players missing!

"Restraint? How to restrain yourself? Millwall has fully retreated, can it be defended? Redknapp shook his head in confusion.

Recall the mercury-like attack of the Red Rebels in the first half, and recall that the players seemed to be chaotic on the field, but it seemed to contain some kind of regular running, and they launched wave after wave of attacks against Millwall's defence through frequent running.

Conversely, when Millwall is in possession of the ball, the Red Rebels players are still running, but they are very smart, no matter where Millwall moves the ball, there are always two or three Red Rebels players nearby, one is marking, and the other players are running to cut off the ball carrier from the surrounding area, and then achieve the goal of breaking the ball.

It's a new defensive tactic derived from running off the ball combined with space control, and even Lazio can't break down the Red Rebels who are defending with all their might, let alone Millwall.

Redknapp couldn't help but think of a quote from Italian coach Sacchi.

Great teams always come with a great style, it doesn't matter the era, it doesn't matter the trophies, it doesn't matter the tactics, they always stick to a style, they dominate the field, they control the tempo of the game when they have the ball, they control the space of the game when they don't have the ball.

That's Saki's definition of a great team, and in Redknapp's view, the current Red Rebels undoubtedly have what it takes to dominate the field, with the only drawback being that their players are generally young.

This is a great team that is gradually rising!

Can't you get it...... In the next battle for the top spot, we will really lose!

For the first time, Redknapp had the idea of being timid before the game, but he wouldn't tell anyone about it, he would just bury it deep in his heart, even if he didn't have the belief to win, he would ask himself to fight hard, even if he lost, he had to lose worthwhile.

The second half resumed, the Red Rebels were still in control of the situation on the field, but the attack did not weaken at all, and then in the 47th and 53rd minutes, with two sudden acceleration of the fast attack, the original thought to slow down the pace of Millwall completely destroyed, the goalscorers were Ribery and Palacio respectively.

In the 55th minute, Mourinho finally remembered to make a substitution!

........................ "We can see that Mourinho is starting to prepare for substitutions, three players from the Red Rebels are standing on the sidelines, obviously Mourinho intends to change a few young players to get used to the atmosphere of the game when the team is 7-0 up, let's see, is it Ismail from the Red Rebels Academy? Miller, Leo? Messi, the other one is De Rossi! ”

'These three players from the Academy were replaced by David, who did well in this game? Villa, Palacio and Juninho Jr., Mourinho is clearly looking to save for Saturday's game against Portsmouth, but he has brought two Academy youngsters who have never played for the first team into the bench before the game, and it is also evident that he has confidence in this game! ”

"Ismail? Miller, a young man born and raised in Manchester, is only 16 years old this year and has yet to make a first team appearance, has been selected for England's youth team, hailed as a talented striker of the new generation, and has set a number of scoring records with teammate Lionel Messi in the youth team. ”

"Leo? Lionel Messi, from Argentina, who joined the team when the Red Rebels were formed, had a strange illness before, but the club healed him and kept him in the team, and now he has applied for English citizenship and has qualified to represent the team, we can see that he played on the right side after he came on the pitch, but he is a left-footed player with great technique! ”

'These two youngsters are some of the most talented young stars in the Red Rebels' Academy and I'm sure Jose Mourinho is giving them a chance to play at a time like this, just to familiarise them with the atmosphere, but they're still young and can't take on the responsibilities of the professional league, but I'm sure they'll be in the team's first-team squad next season.' Martin? Taylor has a lot of praise for both players.

…………………… After greeting Villa and Palacio, the two youngsters took to the pitch, with their team-mates providing them with support and encouragement along the way.

"Leo!" Essien grabbed Messi, "Don't worry, more forwards, more breakthroughs, those bastards have been trapped by us, and you have me behind you!" ”

Messi smiled and nodded, hugged Essien, and saw Curtis behind him, who gave him a thumbs up.

Once upon a time, Messi was envious of Curtis's ability to play in the first team, and now he is also in the first team and has come off the bench, which makes him excited and excited.

"Kill those bastards and avenge the boss!" Ismail shouted.

With that, he ran to the front of the team.

The game is back!

Millwall took the throw-in and the Red Rebels dominated the midfield and were forced to put their feet on the back, while Ismael came on and immediately began to run, looking back and forth between the two centre-backs like a hungry foragger.

Messi is constantly jumping lightly, following the opponent's left fullback on the right side, which was taught to him by the coaches when he was in the academy, which can not only affect the opponent's fullback to get the ball, but also at the moment when he turns from attack to defense, he can give full play to his speed and technical advantages, kill the opponent one-on-one, and then chisel through the opponent's entire defense.

Millwall couldn't find a chance at the back and the opposition centre-back was forced to kick forward on a press from Ismael.

Curtis was very focused, and immediately judged where the ball would land, and was the first to get stuck in position, and headed the ball to De Rossi, who stopped the ball and passed it to Essien.

Essien was also in good form in this game, cutting forward frequently, and this time he found an opportunity to stuff it to Messi.

The opponent's left fullback was originally running forward, Messi also followed the retreat, after receiving Essien's pass, Messi adjusted slightly, his feet were very flexible, seeing that the opponent was going to break the ball, stretched out his foot and poked lightly, the ball passed through the opponent's crotch, and Messi himself accelerated to break through the opponent.

There was an overwhelming cheer in the stands, and it was clear that the fans were admiring Messi's pass.

After passing, Messi dribbled the ball all the way to the vicinity of the opponent's penalty area, faced the opponent's returning central defender, and made a feint very lightly, deceiving the opponent's central defender to lose his center of gravity, and then went to pull out a small gap and rub out a cross.

When he was in the youth team, Ismael often cooperated with Messi like this, his strong body of 1.91 meters is his most powerful weapon, and his header is very good.

The two cooperate very well and trust each other, and when Messi faces the opponent's central defender, Ismael is already accelerating forward, and he is convinced that Messi will be able to pass the ball!

When Messi passed the ball, the opposing central defender wanted to pull Ismael, but this guy was like a tank, he couldn't pull it alive, so he could only watch him rush forward, jump high, and blast Messi's cross into the near corner of the goal, 8:0!

After the goal, Ismael was particularly excited, and ran all the way to the fan stands with Messi, just raising his hands and looking at the stands in a daze, because he didn't know if he could play beforehand, so they weren't ready to celebrate.

This cute gesture was undoubtedly very flattering, and it caused a burst of cheers from the fans in the stands!
