INFO

Ciccio Longoni played mostly as a left winger, but sometimes also operated on the right side. Longoni was a small and stocky player, very fast and astute, but technically not on a high level. Often irresistible with good pace and sudden wriggles, he was very dangerous. Ciccio had a strong shot, even two-footed, and also knew how to send a good cross from the wing. Longoni grew up in the Lecco footballing team in their city, was bought by AC Milan at just 17 years, a company in which, however, he had no way to shine. Its explosion occurred with the transfer of Atalanta, which competed with the signing of almost 200 games, 38 goals, managing to earn a call-up, increases in boys and made his debut for Milan in Serie A at 19 years, but was too minute to play with the famous Gre-No-Li and was sent to the province. So it was that in 20 years, Atalanta stayed there for 7 years before moving to Lazio. He played a game for the national team alongside Boniperti, Muccinelli and Montuori. The game in question was that of 9 December 1956 against Austria, in which he scored two goals in the victory (2-1), although this exploit was never called up to the senior national team.
