Career

edit

Lúcio played for the children's category of Independente de Várzea Grande, was observed by CE Dom Bosco and invited to the club's professional team. In 1974, due to Dom Bosco's financial problems, he was loaned to Palmeiras EC, a time when he almost abandoned football to work as a taxi driver.[1] Therefore, he ended up being traded to AA Ponte Preta for a low fee, a club where he adapted quickly and became one of the most loved players by the fans. In 1980, his pass was sold to SE Palmeiras, team where little produced. He returned to Campinas, this time at Guarani, and was elected Silver Ball of the Brazilian championship in 1982.[2] He also had a spell at Flamengo where he played 34 games and scored one goal.[3][4][5]
