There is a legend involving Bernardo Gandulla, a player for Vasco in the 1939 Carioca Championship, which explains the origin of the term “gandula”. It is said that he, coming from Argentina, took a month to get his registration for the championship. During this period, the winger was on the edge of the field, replacing the ball for teammates and opponents. When the role was made official by the Liga Carioca de Futebol, the following year, the idea of creating the term “gandula” in his honor came up.
