Chelsea vs Barcelona (Semi Final Liga Champions 2011-2012), Leg Pertama Babak Ke-2

BARCELONA – Babak pertama, publik Camp Nou dikejutkan lewat satu gol balasan Chelsea lewat tendangan indah Ramires di penghujung laga. Sebelumnya Barcelona membuat dua gol lewat kaki Sergio Busquets dan Andres Iniesta, skor sementara 2-1 untuk Barca.

Barca yang ingin membalas kekalahan 0-1 dari Chelsea di Stamford Bridge lalu, menampilkan formasi menyerang. Sementara Chelsea, memasang lima pemain di lini tengah guna menahan alur serangan berantai Barca.

Menit ketiga Barca langsung menggebrak, peluang didapat oleh Lionel Messi. Menerima umpan dari Alexis Sanchez, Messi langsung menerobos lini pertahanan Chelsea. Sayang kali ini cungkilannya masih melebar ke sisi kiri gawang Cech.

Terjadi insiden menit ke-17 di mana Victor Valdes yang terbang ingin mengambil bola lambung, menabrak Gerard Pique dan Didier Drogba. Pique sempat mendapatkan pertolongan serius dari tim medis, beruntung kekasih Shakira itu tidak apa-apa.

Pada menit ke-19 Cech melakukan penyelamatan gemilang, ketika berhasil membendung tembakan keras Messi usai bekerjasama dengan Cesc Fabregas. Begitu juga dengan bola mentah yang masih bisa dihalau barisan belakang The Blues. Alhasil, hingga memasuki menit ke-20, skor tetap 0-0 (agregat 0-1).

Peluang emas pertama Chelsea datang dari Drogba. Melalui aksi Drogba seorang diri yang ditempel ketat oleh Pique, pencetak gol di leg pertama ini berhasil lolos dari dekapan Pique yang terjatuh. Tapi setelah itu, tendangan Drogba hanya menggetarkan jala di belakang gawang Valdes saja.

Camp Nou bergema, menit ke-35 gawang Chelsea akhirnya kebobolan lewat kaki Sergio Busquets. Gelandang jangkar ini berhasil mengkonversi sebuah gol setelah menerima umpan dari Isaac Cuenca yang berdiri bebas mengirimkan umpan dari sisi kanan pertahanan The Blues. Skor berubah menjadi 1-0 (agregat pun menjadi 1-1).

Dua menit kemudian, insiden terjadi ketika John Terry disinyalir berbuat kasar terhadap Sanchez. Alhasil wasti asal Turki, Cuneyt Cakir memberikan kartu merah kepada kapten The Blues tersebut.

Bermain timpang, akhirnya gawang Chelsea kembali bobol lewat kaki Andres Iniesta di menit ke-44, setelah menerima umpan manis dari Messi. Iniesta pun dengan mudah membuat gol ketiganya di Liga Champions musim ini. Skor berubah menjadi 2-0 untuk Barca (2-1).

Tapi, kubu Chelsea tidak tinggal diam. Melalui serangan balik, Frank Lampard mengirim umpan manis ke Ramires. Pemain bernomor 7 ini yang lolos dari jebakan offside tidak menyia-nyiakan peluang tersebut dengan men-chip bola. skor kembali berubah menjadi 2-1 untuk Barca. (Agregat 2-2).

Past Perfect

Basic form

Subject + HAD + Verb (past participle form)

Quick examples

• I had written the letter before you came home.
• If she had studied hard, she would have passed the English language exam.
• I wish I had been brave enough.
• Mary looked as if she had not slept for 48 hours.

We use the Past Perfect tense to emphasize that an action in the past finished before another action in the past started. This tense is also used in reported speech, third conditional sentences, or to show dissatisfaction with the past.

Use

1. Completed action before another action in the past
2. Third conditional sentences
3. Reported speech
4. Dissatisfaction with the past

Use 1: A completed action before another action in the past

The first use of this tense is to emphasize that one action in the past happened before another action in the past.

• I had finished my homework before I went playing football.
• John had never been to London before we went there last year.

Good to know

People (especially native speakers) do not use the Past Perfect in above sentences very often. For example, they will say:

• After I washed my car, I went to fill up.

Rather than:

• After I had washed my car, I went to fill up.

This is because "after" and "before" tell the listener which action happened first. Still, keep in mind that it is better to use the Past Perfect, especially in written English or when writing exams.

Simple Present Perfect tense

The present perfect simple tense is used to talk about a past time, which has very strong meaning for the present.
For example:
Q) Where's Jane?
A) She has gone out. She should be back in an hour.
We form the present perfect simple by using the auxilliary verb have/has and the -ed form of the regular verb (the past participle) irregular verb forms have to be learned:

Statements +	Statements -	Questions	Short answer +	Short answer -
I've worked.	I haven't worked.	Have I worked?	Yes, I have.	No, I haven't.
He's worked.	He hasn't worked.	Has he worked?	Yes, he has.	No, he hasn't.
She's worked.	She hasn't worked.	Has she worked?	Yes, she has.	No, she hasn't.
It's worked.	It hasn't worked.	Has it worked?	Yes, it has.	No, it hasn't.
You've worked.	You haven't worked.	Have you worked?	Yes you have.	No, you haven't.
We've worked.	We haven't worked.	Have we worked?	Yes we have.	No, we haven't.
They've worked.	They haven't worked.	Have they worked?	Yes they have.	No, they haven't.

The present perfect simple is used to discuss events that have just been completed at the moment of speaking.
For example:
Q) Have you done your homework?"
A) "Yes, I've just finished it."
It is often used to suggest that a past action still has an effect upon something happening in the present.
For example:
"The pound has fallen against the dollar."
It is also used to discuss unfinished time.
For example:
Q) Have you done your homework today?
A) No, I haven't done it yet.
Note - You are talking about today and today isn't finished, so you may do your homework later!
Q) Have you ever been to England?"
A) "Yes I have."
Note - You are talking about something that has happened in your life and your life isn't finished!
You can also use the present perfect to discuss something from the past but you don't want to say exactly when.
For example:
Q) "Are you learning any languages?"
A) "Yes, I've begun to learn English."
This tense is often used to discuss events that have been happening over a period of time, but aren't finished yet.
For example:
Q) "How long have you studied English for?"
A) "I've studied English for 2 years now."
However it is better (grammatically speaking) to use the Present Perfect Continuous to express yourself in this way.
For example:
Q) "How long have you been studying English for?" A) "I've been studying English for 2 years now."

SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

The simple present tense in English is used to describe an action that is regular, true or normal.
We use the present tense:
1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period.

• I take the train to the office.
• The train to Berlin leaves every hour.
• John sleeps eight hours every night during the week.

2. For facts.

3. For habits.

• They travel to their country house every weekend.

4. For things that are always / generally true.

• It rains a lot in winter.
• The Queen of England lives in Buckingham Palace.
• They speak English at work.

Verb Conjugation & Spelling

We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject	Verb	The Rest of the sentence
I / you / we / they	speak / learn	English at home
he / she / it	speaks / learns	English at home

The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

• go – goes
• catch – catches
• wash – washes
• kiss – kisses
• fix – fixes
• buzz – buzzes

2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.

• marry – marries
• study – studies
• carry – carries
• worry – worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

• play – plays
• enjoy – enjoys
• say – says

Negative Sentences in the Simple Present Tense

To make a negative sentence in English we normally use Don't or Doesn't with all verbs EXCEPT To Be and Modal verbs (can, might, should etc.).

• Affirmative: You speak French.
  Negative: You don't speak French.

You will see that we add don't between the subject and the verb. We use Don't when the subject is I, you, we or they.

• Affirmative: He speaks German.
  Negative: He doesn't speak German.

When the subject is he, she or it, we add doesn't between the subject and the verb to make a negative sentence. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the negative sentence. We will see the reason why below.

Negative Contractions

Don't = Do notDoesn't = Does not
I don't like meat = I do not like meat.
There is no difference in meaning though we normally use contractions in spoken English.

Word Order of Negative Sentences

The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in English in the Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

Subject	don't/doesn't	Verb*	The Rest of the sentence
I / you / we / they	don't	have / buy eat / like etc.	cereal for breakfast
he / she / it	doesn't

* Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.
Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.
Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

• You don't speak Arabic.
• John doesn't speak Italian.
• We don't have time for a rest.
• It doesn't move.
• They don't want to go to the party.
• She doesn't like fish.

Questions in the Simple Present Tense

To make a question in English we normally use Do or Does. It has no translation in Spanish though it is essential to show we are making a question. It is normally put at the beginning of the question.

• Affirmative: You speak English.
  Question: Do you speak English?

You will see that we add DO at the beginning of the affirmative sentence to make it a question. We use Do when the subject is I, you, we or they.

• Affirmative: He speaks French.
  Question: Does he speak French?

When the subject is he, she or it, we add DOES at the beginning to make the affirmative sentence a question. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the question. We will see the reason why below.
We DON'T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might, should etc.)

Word Order of Questions with Do and Does

The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does.

Do/Does	Subject	Verb*	The Rest of the sentence
Do	I / you / we / they	have / need want etc.	a new bike?
Does	he / she / it

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.
Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.
Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

• Do you need a dictionary?
• Does Mary need a dictionary?
• Do we have a meeting now?
• Does it rain a lot in winter?
• Do they want to go to the party?
• Does he like pizza?

Short Answers with Do and Does

In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct questions as follows:

Sample Questions	Short Answer (Affirmative)	Short Answer (Negative)
Do you like chocolate?	Yes, I do.	No, I don't.
Do I need a pencil?	Yes, you do.	No, you don't.
Do you both like chocolate?	Yes, we do.	No, we don't.
Do they like chocolate?	Yes, they do.	No, they don't.
Does he like chocolate?	Yes, he does.	No, he doesn't.
Does she like chocolate?	Yes, she does.	No, she doesn't.
Does it have four wheels?	Yes, it does.	No, it doesn't.

However, if a question word such as who, when, where, why, which or how is used in the question, you can not use the short answers above to respond to the question.
