Style of play

A natural center-back, Salcedo has been deployed as a full-back: on the right side while playing for the Mexico national team and on the left when he used to play for Real Salt Lake. He is known as "a good passer and as a concentrated player who likes to play long balls, he is known for his well timed slide tackles and his strength in the back line, his abilities to win most of the aerial duels makes him a complete defender." He has also been described as "tall, strong, physically imposing and quick on the ball. He has superb slide tackling skills and is willing to throw his body into danger if it means stopping an opponents attack." He is commonly known by his nickname ''Titan'', as a result of his imposing physical presence and his speedy recoveries from injuries, as well as being able to play through them. In an interview with Tom Marshall from Goal.com, Salcedo stated that his early move to the MLS would help develop his playing style, arguing "that MLS is generally more physical than in Mexico, but that learning to combat a more direct style complements the technique and comfort on the ball that was drilled into him, first at uadalajaraand later with Tigres."

Personal

His father, Carlos Salcedo Snr, played for Atlas F.C. in Mexico, his great-grandfather had played for C.D. Guadalajara and been a league winner in Mexico. His great-uncle, Hugo Salcedo, played Soccer for the U.S. at the 1972 Olympic Games. His son and Carlos's first-cousin, once removed, Jorge Salcedo played for four teams in MLS between 1996 and 2000, and was capped by the United States national soccer team.
