This week is time to talk about a very experienced player that continue to impress me day by day. This week I will be talking about Carlos Arnoldo Salcido. Salcido was born in Ocotlan Jalisco; he started his career with Chivas making his debut in the 2001 season. Salcido never thought he would be a soccer player; he played soccer at amateur level even when he was twenty years old in which most of the players already debuted or at least belong to a team. His big day came when his friends were about to participate in soccer game and they needed a player and Salcido played with a fake license. Some agents of Club Deportivo Guadalajara where in that game, and he played so well that he received an offer from Chivas. After a great world cup given by Salcido in 2006, Carlos Salcido was bought by the Dutch team PSV Eindhoven.
Carlos had a very successful time with them being fundamental for this team to win 2 leagues and one cup. In 2010 the left back singed a contract with the English team Fulham Football Club. And one year later Carlos wanted to come back to Mexico, so he move to Tigres, Carlos continue to be a starter and fundamental player not only for his team but also to the national team. Carlos has participated in two world cups, and he was part of the team that won the London 2012 gold medal in the Olympic games being a fundamental part for this team. Rumors say today that Carlos wants to go back to Chivas and retire with them; we might see Carlos in the 2014 World Cup. Sadly for Mexico Carlos is already 33 and he will be ending his career in a couple of years but he has been one or probably the best left-back we have ever had.
Thank You Carlos for your dedication and commitment. Great Player.
