RUGAL? LIKE THIS? UNDERSTAND THE NAME OF FLAMENGO’S NEW FEATURED PLAYER

Saturday (11) was a victory for Flamengo, who beat Corinthians 2-0, in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. Scorer of the second rubro-negro goal in the match, Lorran received the nickname 'Rugal' and, therefore, Coluna do Fla explains who the character is.

First of all, it is important to remember that the man himself Lorran celebrated the goal scored by making the Rugal Bernstein gesture. The name is a character from the fighting game franchise 'The King of Fighters', released in arcades in 1994. In games, Rugal is known as one of the most dangerous, with accurate blows and skills.

< “This nickname came from the Brazilian Championship (under-20). The guys were joking about putting Rugal on. I got into the game, scored the goal and started Rugal's celebration. He is an arcade character. He's very attractive, just like me on the field (laughs)”, said Lorran, after winning the Libertadores under-20 with Flamengo in March.

With Rugal, or rather, Lorran at disposition, Flamengo focuses on the next commitment of the season. This is because Rubro-Negro faces Bolívar (BOL), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. On this occasion, the ball will roll at Maracanã from 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (15).
