Salas has an instinct to be in the right place on the right time beyond normal players. France 1998 World Cup was the confirmation of Marcelo, scoring 4 goals in 4 games. He also scored 2 goals versus England to give Chile a surprising victory in February 1998. "Salas, who is bound from River Plate to Italian club Lazio on a 12-million pound ($20 million) transfer, showed in the 2-0 victory why he commands that kind of price." - the press said next day after two - nill historic victory. Won almost everything with River Plate (except for the Toyota Cup).
