[edit] Biography

Salcido started his career with Chivas de Guadalajara and made his debut in the Primera División de México on July 22, 2001 in a 1-1 draw match against La Piedad. He would go on to play five half-seasons with Guadalajara and registering two goals in 105 matches. [1].
A popular sporting figure in Mexico, Salcido is a naturally gifted athlete that can play the ball with either foot. Even though he began his career as a forward, it is as a central left defender where he performs his best.

During a semi-final match against Argentina, Salcido scored a dynamic goal in extra time after recovering the ball in the Mexican area and driving the whole length of the pitch, dribbling past three defenders and scoring after the shot bounced off Fabricio Coloccini and fooled keeper Germán Lux.
