Career
editAmbisright, Ernesto began his career with the nickname "Pio". Upon arriving at Ferroviária, in the presence of another player (Osmar Alberto Volpe ) with the same nickname, he began to adopt Lance. In 1971 he scored 15 goals in the Campeonato Paulista, arousing the interest of Corinthians, a team that played 211 matches and remained until 1977, being one of the players on the squad that ended the title drought.[1]
On 8 February 1975, after Corinthians lost 4–1 to Fluminense, Lance was accused by referee José Roberto Wright of punching him in the face. Even with most of the witnesses denying the fact, Lance was suspended from football for a year.[2] He also played for Coritiba, São Bento, Athletico Paranaense and Santo André before retiring.[3]
Personal life
editLance almost lost his life in a car accident in 2014, in São João da Boa Vista. He had more than 12 fractures throughout his body and spent a year to fully rehabilitate. His brother-in-law died in the accident.[3]
