Marcelo Salas

Marcelo Salas Former Football Best Player of America.

José Marcelo Salas Melinao (born December 24, 1974 in Temuco), better known as El Matador, Shileno or simply Marcelo Salas, is a former football player from Chile. He, along with world cup veterans, 3 time Best Player of America Elías Figueroa and former Real Madrid and Inter Milan forward Iván Zamorano, has been one of Chile's most prestigious footballers. He has played in Chile, Argentina and Italy where he has won titles for every team he has played for. He has a deft touch with his left foot, which has led to some spectacular goals all around the globe, including two in a historical 2-0 win for Chile in Michael Owen's debut for England in Wembley Stadium right before the 1998 World Cup.

River Plate  

Later in 1996, Salas moved on to Argentina to play with River Plate of the Argentine first division, a move that was met with some criticism by the Argentine press as a Chile born player had never really had an impact playing in Argentina. The move was also criticised by Argentine great Diego Maradona as Salas was scouted by arch rival Boca Juniors prior to joining River. Salas quickly silenced his critics and won over Argentine fans, as a major contributor to one of the clubs greatest runs ever. From 1996-1998 Salas scored 26 goals in 51 games, helping River to win the Torneo de Apertura 1996, the Clausura 1997, the Apertura 1997 and the 1997 Supercopa Sudamericana. These accomplishments would cement his legacy in Argentina as one of its greatest foreign born players earning the nickname, "El shileno (sic) Salas". During that time he also helped Chile in the World Cup qualification as the top scorer along Ivan Zamorano in the South American zone. In 1998, he participated with Chile in the World Cup making a strong performance with 4 goals in 4 matches.

Origin of Salas Family

Salas Family Originated

SALAS surname first recorded between the 11th and 12th century in the province of Asturias, rural mountain area of northwestern Spain, just northeast of present-day Portugal. Presently, some variations but related as well appeared such as SALINAS, SALES, and SALA. The Christians in Spain were driven there by the Muslims and it took them 700-800 years to reconquer Spain in 1492 at Granada. Asturias is the birthplace of ”La Reconquista”. (CHRISTIAN D. SALAS, 13 May 2000)

The first known SALAS patriarch in the Philippines, although little has known about him was POTENCIANO, born out of wedlock circa 1800′s.

From a common oral history of the CLAN cited that POTENCIANO’s parents were a native girl having been in a romantic liaison with the Spanish soldier that time. In one of a relative’s words, a ”kasintahan”. Cultural and social modesties prevented them to pursue a lifelong happiness…

Various stories described POTENCIANO as a likeness of his father. He was able to raise his family, albeit his wife was also unknown, and blessed with four (4) sons and a daughter namely: JUAN, ISIDRO, PETRA, and MARCELO. Except for JUAN SALAS, the other siblings faded from memory.

Contemporary genealogic records existed in the provinces of Quezon, Pampanga, Laguna, and Panay Island. JUAN was born year 1869, and raised a big family in Barangay Lubcanan, Municipality of Jagna, Province of Bohol, Philippines. He was married to Rufina Balaba, and blessed with nine (9) siblings. They were: FERMIN, MARIA, FILOMENO, TIBURCIO, SOTERA, IRENE, BEA, CRISTITUTO, and GADIOSA.

The last surviving sibling of JUAN SALAS, TIBURCIO, died on the 14th day of December 2000, Barangay Bagacay, Municipality of Pilar, Province of Bohol.
