Marcelo 'Matador' Salas

José Marcelo Salas Melinao, called by his Chilean fans 'Matador' and Argentinian fans 'Shileno', is one of the most important football player in the history of the sport in Chile and played as a striker. Marcelo Salas was born on December the 24th of 1974, in the southern city of Temuco.

He plays in different teams in Chile, Argentina and Italy.
In Chile he played for the Universidad de Chile football team in two times, between 1993-1996 and 2005-2008. He scored 87 goals for Universidad de Chile and, today, is one of the most important idols of this football clubs.
After his first term in Chile, Marcelo traveled to Argentina, where he played in River Plate club (the football team with more trophies of the local competition). In this team, he played in two times too, between 1996-1998 and 2003-2005. He scored 34 goals in River Plate, where he was also considered an idol.
Finally, the 'Matador' traveled to Europe, specifically to Italy, where he plays in two teams: Lazio of Rome and Juventus, of Turín. At this stage of his life, Marcelo won the European Winners Cup and the European Super Cup, maybe the most important trophies in his career.

Finally, I tell them the truth. I chose Marcelo Salas because, for me, is the best Chilean player of all time :)
