Attack/Defence Awareness Card: BalancedInfo: Rubens Salles was considered the first idol of Brazilian football in the first half of the 1910s, later surpassed by Arthur Friedenreich. “His name, as a footballer, became very popular, and certain moves from the sport became associated with him,” wrote the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. At first, he wasn't very good at playing football, but he persisted and eventually made his mark on Brazilian football as a center-back. He made his debut with Paulistano in 1906, after playing in the youth teams from 1902 to 1904. In 1907, he was a starter for Paulistano and won the championship in 1908. In 1914, he was in the first Brazilian national team, formed to face Exeter City, and scored the team's first goal in official matches, in a 1–0 victory over Argentina in the 1914 Copa Roca, also Brazil's first victory outside the country. His first experience as a coach was in these matches, alongside Sylvio Lagreca on a commission. - Sua especialidade eram os passes em profundidade, com os quais surpreendia seus adversários.
- Rubens Salles foi o grande “craque” do futebol brasileiro depois de Charles Miller e Arthur Friedenreich. Não levava muito jeito para o futebol, mas insistiu e acabou marcando época no futebol brasileiro como “center-half” (volante).
Sua estreia no Paulistano foi em 1906, depois de passar pelas equipes infantis, de 1902 a 1904. Em 1907 era titular do Paulistano, e em 1908 foi campeão. Foi artilheiro do Campeonato Paulista de 1910, jogando pelo Paulistano com 10 gols.
Sua especialidade eram os passes em profundidade, com os quais surpreendia seus adversários, o que o levou a Seleção Brasileira que enfrentou o Exeter City, e no mesmo ano, também levou a Seleção a conseguir a primeira vitória fora do país, vencendo a Argentina, em Buenos Aires, com um gol seu.
- Jogador talentoso logo foi aproveitado no time profissional fazendo sua estreia aos 15 anos de idade em 1906 tendo como característica o passe de qualidade sendo um bom articulador. Mesmo não sendo atacante construiu um feito histórico na época se tornando em 1910 o artilheiro do campeonato paulista com 10 gols, foi campeão pelo Paulista nos anos de 1908, 1913, 1916, 1917, 1918, e 1919 e vice-campeão nos anos de 1907, 1909, 1912, 1914 e 1920 tornando o time na época imbatível, temido e o único time consecutivamente tetracampeão paulista.
- A trajetória de sucesso logo trouxe a Rubens, em 1914, a convocação para a primeira Seleção Brasileira. Na ocasião o são-manuelense recebeu a tarja de capitão do time. Naquela época, o comando técnico da equipe era designado ao capitão, sendo assim, Rubens Salles, além de ser o primeiro técnico da história, foi também o primeiro capitão da Seleção Brasileira de Futebol.
Sua especialidade eram os passes em profundidade, com os quais surpreendia seus adversários, esse foi um dos motivos que o levou a Seleção Brasileira que enfrentou o Exeter City da Inglaterra.No mesmo ano, Rubens conduziu a Seleção a conseguir a sua primeira vitória em uma competição oficial, vencendo a Argentina, em Buenos Aires, com um gol seu, conquistando assim o título da Copa Roca.
- O volante começou sua trajetória em 1906, pelo Paulistano, onde efetuou toda sua carreira, até 1921. Conhecido pela boa saída de bola e passes precisos, foi artilheiro do Campeonato Paulista de 1910.
- That victory came in Buenos Aires on 27 September, two months after the debut outing against Exeter, with Salles’ looping 13th-minute strike from outside the box catching goalkeeper Juan Jose Rithner unawares. Not without good reason, his team-mates dubbed him Patada Atômica (“The Atomic Kick”), the very same nickname that would be bestowed many years later on another iconic figure of the Brazilian game: Roberto Rivelino, a FIFA World Cup™ winner in 1970. Quote: Taking up the story in its obituary of Salles, O Estado de S.Paulo wrote: “The head of the British delegation was so excited about Rubens that he made him a very attractive offer to play for a professional team back in his country.” Though flattered by the proposal, Salles, who was 20 at the time, promptly turned it down. Local football fans would have cause to celebrate that decision, for it led to him becoming one of the most prominent figures in a sport still in its infancy in Brazil, which, within a few decades, would nevertheless become recognised as the home of the game. Quote: Born in the city of Sao Manuel, some 270 kilometres from Sao Paulo, Salles began playing football at the age of 11, in playground kickabouts with his friends. He was largely untrained as a player, and it is hard to say which was his stronger suit on the pitch: his obvious ability on the ball or his leadership skills.
The author of his O Estado de S.Paulo obituary acknowledged both those assets: “Following his retirement from the game, a number of strong young players came through and made names for themselves, though none of them did so with quite the same unique and elegant way of playing what was a strange sport. He had an unshakeable view of what team spirit should be. There were many occasions on which Rubens Salles, in those fleeting hours of triumph, demanded that no mention be made of his name, so that the rest of the gang should receive the same measure of applause and praise.” Quote: CAMPANHA NO SÃO PAULO FC [**]
116 jogos disputados (71 vitórias, 29 empates, 16 derrotas).

other nickname: ''craque'' Def: 78>74-76 Short Pass Accuracy: 85>81 Short Pass Speed: 82>70 Long Pass Accuracy: 82>84 Long Pass Speed: 75>71 He was better with his long passes than with short passes, and for that time, I think that passing ability was excessive. Shot Accuracy: 71>73 Shot Power: 84>86 max Shot Technique: 62??>71 Agg: 62>70-72 P10 - Long Ranger add the rest is ok He was scoring goals from outside the box, so there's no reason for his Shot Technique to be so low. Rubens Salles was a football player from the early 20th century, known for his creative playing style and his ability to make through passes. He played as a midfielder (or "center-half") and was famous for his powerful shots, being called a "star" and being one of the first to shoot with the instep. His great specialty was creating plays through long passes, which surprised opponents.

Characteristics:
Creativity: He was considered one of the greatest talents of his time, influencing other great players such as Amílcar Barbuy.
Passing: Specialist in through passes, which surprised opposing defenses.
Shooting: Known for his "atomic shots" and for being one of the first players to shoot with the instep.
Legacy:

His career was marked by titles, including six São Paulo state championships.
He also distinguished himself as a coach, leading São Paulo da Floresta to the 1931 São Paulo state championship title.

You're right, looking closely at what I quoted it doesn't make much sense, although the fact that he has that nickname "The Atomic Kick" leads me to believe that his through balls along the ground were powerful, he has decent ball control for passing and of course he's capable of long-range shots. Anyway, I don't know if his SPS should be yellow and I know many will tell me that the ball is heavy and things like that, there are shots where they show how old players make powerful passes with that heavy ball, especially during counter-attacks.
