Attack/Defence Awareness Card: BalancedINFO: Milton played his entire professional career for only one club, Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, being considered a modern player for his time, as he had above-average physical conditioning, which allowed him to set up plays in all parts of the field and greatly contribute to the defensive effort, hence his nickname ''Formiguinha" (ant).
Milton Kuelle, nicknamed "Formiguinha" (Little Ant), was an attacking midfielder with a playing style characterized by versatility and intelligence, combining refined technique and agility on the field. He was an iconic player for Grêmio, where he played most of his career, and his versatility allowed him to perform different functions in the offensive sector. Characteristics of Milton Kuelle Characteristic Description Position Attacking midfielder. Intelligence He stood out for his ability to read the game and position himself intelligently. Technical Skill He possessed a high technical level, essential for his role in creating plays. Versatility He could play in different positions in attack and midfield. Agility His agility and mobility made him difficult to mark. Performance at Grêmio He played his entire professional career at the club, wearing the tricolor jersey from 1954 to 1965.
Milton Kuelle is one of the players who has scored the most goals in the club's history. In total, he found the net 129 times in 511 matches, according to numbers from the GrêmioPédia website. With this record, he appears as the eighth highest scorer for Grêmio, just two goals behind Baltazar, who is seventh.
From 1954 to 1965, during his professional period at Grêmio, he formed a solid midfield partnership with "the German" Elton. Milton himself calls himself the "workhorse" of a team that won five consecutive Rio Grande do Sul state championships. He claims he held the fort in midfield so that the infernal Gessy and "Tank" Juarez could shine in attack.
The nickname "Little Ant," coined by journalist Mendes Ribeiro, stuck like a curse. It's still there today. It could be due to his concern for the team and awareness of his role on the field. But the idea was to illustrate how much he ran during games. Milton Kuelle never stopped.
"I ran like a horse, marking everyone," he confirms. "Technically, my level was average. But in terms of stamina, nobody could beat me."
In the 1950s, under the command of the legendary coach Oswaldo Rolla, he already played a style of football far ahead of his time. A right-footed left midfielder with great movement, he helped in defense, sometimes becoming almost another defender, orchestrated the game and, possessing a keen goal-scoring instinct, arrived in the opponent's area to make the net ripple, so much so that he is the eighth highest scorer in Grêmio's history, with 129 goals.
Born in Porto Alegre, Milton Martins Kuelle turns 87 this December 22nd. He played 502 matches for Grêmio, a number that makes him the sixth player who has worn the club's shirt the most times – the only one he ever wore. He started as a youth player in 1952, at the age of 19. From 1953 to 1965 he was nine times Gaúcho champion. He formed, along with Marino, Gessy, Juarez, and Viera, one of the most celebrated and idolized attacking lines in Grêmio's history. All five players are among the 11 top scorers in Grêmio's history. Milton was one of the players most trusted by Oswaldo Rolla, nicknamed Foguinho, who used to say: “To play on my team, it’s not enough to be good. You have to run.” Possessing excellent physical conditioning, Milton ran. And played. And defended. And marked. And orchestrated plays. And scored goals. And ran some more. It was no coincidence that journalist Mendes Ribeiro nicknamed him Ant.
