Solidarity of PCR's student with flood victims

Hello everyone... I'm sorry if I rarely updating this blog in past two years, cause I'm busy in college life. Well, it doesn't mean I don't have any tread to share for all of you. And thank you for everyone who stay visiting my blog even this out of date.

Okay, now I want to share something out of field. It's about flood accident in Rumbai regency, Riau province, Indonesia. This disaster occured since last Friday, cause of heavy rain in every night. As I'm a college student and also join PMI (Indonesian Red Cross), me and some of my friend from PMI community in my campus Politeknik Caltex Riau, helping PMI Pekanbaru to distributed logistics relief for flood victims.

Well, actually most of my friend who joined me to distribute the logistics are heading for mid-exam in our campus. But that's not make them reluctant to join us and helping to distribute the logistics. They're compliant to get wet although in the noon they still have another exam.
Here some pictures from the scene, enjoy it :) for more pict, click here!

 

Five-goals Messi leaves Leverkusen spellbound

Lionel Messi scored the first five-goal haul in UEFA Champions League history as holders FC Barcelona powered to a 7-1 win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, sailing through to the quarter-finals 10-2 on aggregate.

Messi became the first man to score four goals in a game twice in the competition inside an hour before adding his milestone fifth six minutes from time. The 20-year-old substitute Tello had struck twice on his European debut either side of number four, and Barcelona were on course for another new mark, the biggest win in UEFA Champions League knockout round history. Karim Bellarabi's last-gasp reply restricted them to a record-equalling victory; it was scant consolation.

While Camp Nou regulars may say the reigning champions were initially slow to go through the gears, in truth they were not required to. They began with an air of control, patiently seeking the breakthrough that would effectively end the tie. They entertained while they waited. It took a desperate block from Ömer Toprak to prevent Pedro Rodríguez when Bernd Leno could only parry Messi's volley and Andrés Iniesta, playing wide left, was sensational.

Iniesta tirelessly ran past opponents, two of whom were booked for rash challenges, and went off to a rousing ovation after only 53 minutes − by then, the game was already won. Gerard Piqué, stooping for a Xavi Hernández free-kick midway through the first half, might have opened the scoring. It delayed the inevitable only by two minutes as Xavi's lofted pass allowed Messi to race clear and lob Leno. One became two just before the break when Iniesta broke from left to right and fed Messi, whose jinking run across the box ended with him sliding home left footed.

Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt had accurately predicted how little possession his team would have − and how well they would need to use it. His players failed him on that count. Messi's 24-minute hat-trick arrived when he again beat the offside trap and chipped Leno. It was a procession, and while the Camp Nou chanted with ecstasy, Josep Guardiola proceeded to protect Xavi and Iniesta by replacing them with Tello and Seydou Keita.

Tello was on the pitch for under two minutes when he cushioned a Cesc Fàbregas pass and opened his body to bend the ball around the despairing Leno. Barcelona were irresistible. Messi made history when Leno fumbled a loose ball in the 58th minute but there was a special roar when Tello, fast becoming a fans' favourite, managed to power a speculative shot through the Leverkusen goalkeeper − the German will pray he does not suffer many more nights like this.

Yet while another replacement, Bellarabi, would ultimately have the last word for a side that had hitherto mustered only a fine Eren Derdiyok chance, it was Messi's night. With six minutes left he provided one more glorious left-footed finish after Keita's pass. Five-star in every respect; one of the great performances of all time.

# Barcelona hasta la muerte :)

El Gran Clasico 2011

This is plot of 1st El Gran Clasico season 2011/2012 on matchday 16 at 10 December 2011.

Barcelona were the comeback kings at the Santiago Bernabeu as the champions recovered from conceding within the first minute to defeat bitter rivals Real Madrid 3-1 in the seventh and final Clasico of 2011.

Jose Mourinho's men took the lead after only 22 seconds when Karim Benzema grabbed the quickest goal in Clasico history. The home side were pegged back on the half hour mark when Alexis Sanchez grabbed an equaliser in his first league appearance against Madrid.

A Xavi volley took a fortuitous deflection off Marcelo to give the visitors the lead, before Cesc Fabregas' header finished off a wonderful team move in the 66th minute in what proved to be the fixture's final strike.

The victory sends Barcelona level on points with Jose Mourinho's men and to the top of the Liga table due to their superior head-to-head record against Madrid, who have a game in hand.

In one of the most astonishing starts in the history of the Clasico, Real Madrid were a goal to the good within 22 seconds. Victor Valdes' poor clearance fell to the feet of Angel Di Maria who drilled the ball into the penalty area only for Sergio Busquets to block its progress. Mesut Ozil's attempted volley deflected off Busquets into the path of Benzema to fire home six yards from goal.

Madrid were left to rue opportunities to double their lead when Barcelona drew level on the half hour mark with Messi on hand to turn provider. The 24-year-old bypassed several challenges before sliding a weighted through ball to Alexis Sanchez, who calmly slotted past Casillas from the edge of the area to bring his side back into the game and all square at the break.

After a edgy opening to the second period, Barcelona were handed the lead thanks to a large slice of fortune on 53 minutes. Xavi's speculative volley 25 yards from goal took a massive deflection off Marcelo, fooling a wrong-footed Casillas with the ball spinning off the post and into the back of the net.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had in the first half skewed a shot wide of the target when Di Maria was perhaps better placed to his right, then squandered a golden opportunity to level the contest. Xabi Alonso's cross found the Portuguese completely unmarked inside the area, but his header drifted wide of the post.

Madrid were made to pay, as Barca extended their lead in the 66th minute after a breathtaking counterattacking move. Messi slid the ball out to the right for Dani Alves to whip a beautiful cross towards the back post where an unmarked Cesc Fabregas was on cue to coolly head the ball into the far corner in what was to be the final goal of a pulsating encounter.

Next up for Real Madrid is a trip to Ponferradina on Tuesday as they look to defend their Copa del Rey title. Barcelona now head to Japan where they will feature in the Club World Cup. Their first task will be a semi-final meeting against either Esperance or Al Sadd on Thursday.

Biography of Lionel Messi

Full Name : Lionel Andres Messi

Birthplace : Rosario

Date of Birth : 24 June 1987

Nationality : Argentina

Position : Attacking Forward

Club : FC Barcelona

Lionel Messi started playing football at a very early age in his hometown's Newell's Old Boys. From the age of 11, he suffered from a hormone deficiency and as Lionel's parents were unable to pay for the treatment in Argentina, they decided to move to Barcelona, Spain.

In the 2003-2004 season, when he was still only 16, Messi made his first team debut in a friendly with Porto that marked the opening of the new Dragao stadium. The following championship-winning season, Messi made his first appearance in an official match on October 16, 2004, in Barcelona's derby win against Espanyol at the Olympic Stadium (0-1).

With several first team players seriously injured, the services of several reserve team players were called upon, and Messi became a regular feature of Barça squads. On May 1, 2005, he became the youngest player ever to score a league goal for FC Barcelona - against Albacete when Messi was only 17 years, 10 months and 7 days old.

He was offered the chance to play for the Spain national football team, but declined, prefering to wait for the opportunity to play for the country of his birth. In June 2004 he got his chance, playing in a U-20 friendly match against Paraguay.

Messi picked up the Golden Boot as top scorer with 6 goals, and the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament. Despite his youth, Lionel has already drawn comparisons with Diego Maradona, arguably the best football player of all time.

On September 25, 2005 Messi obtained a Spanish citizenship and was finally able to make his debut in this season's Spanish First Division. He had previously been unable to play because FC Barcelona had filled up all of their quota of non-EU players.

Messi's first outing in the UEFA Champions League at the Nou Camp was on Sept 28 against Italian club Udinese. He impressed with some great passing and a seemingly telepathic relationship with Ronaldinho that earned him a standing ovation from the 70,000-odd Nou Camp faithful. On December of that year, the Italian newspaper Tuttosport awarded him the Golden Boy 2005 title for the best under-21 player in Europe, over Wayne Rooney and Lukas Podolski.
