Info:
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.
