San Isidro Fair: Novilleros, modern, heavy and advantage of elegance | Culture

It is true that they are very young and two of them – the Mene and Bastos – presented themselves today in Las Ventas, but none of the three bodies responded to the expectations that should have been supposed to their short and successful breeds.

They adorn the bullfights, they are elegant, they manage the cloak with good taste, but they disappoint with the crutch in their hands, always detached, with the python thread, without depth or grace, and are heavy, like good children of their time.

The first conclusion is that the Mayalde count offered their best qualities for the triumph and their assassins did not know how to take advantage of it. There have been three greedy and noble specimens in the last third who rose of durability and rhythm, but the consequent bullfight was missing of background and feeling, overflowing with coldness and doubts about the future.

Two of those pounds touched El Mene who, while his teammates manage the boss with ease and enjundia, and showed in a nice tour for the aprons in the early afternoon, four excellent Verónica and an average in the receipt to the second, and an extraordinary half in half in a first steering of his life in Madrid. And kill very well, with a prominent decision; From a somewhat opposite lunge, launching the animal’s morrillo, he finished first and a large lunge prescribed the fifth.

But with the crutch … heavy, like all its generation, very not very narrow, passes and more real passages, all very unequal, involved, boring. This has been seen in his two sterries, but above all before the fifth, tireless and inexhaustible enchanted in the last third, with a good rhythm and quality in his assault, with which he has not found a way to draw a triumph task. At the end of his work, in the eighth lot, with the warning that is about to play, it was Zancadilleado from the steering, which chased him with the greed and gave him a very serious day of which, fortunately, he left without cornada. He shot the ring protested from the corner and a last larger lot of everything above.

Tomás Bastos is another instant with good taste with the cloak in his hands and wore chicuelinas and tafalleras, he is elegant and walks self -confidence in front of his opponents, but another who takes the crutch and changes on stage. A triumphal steering was the third, meek, repeater and noble, already the exception of a long passage of the chest, was unable to mobilize the attention of the lie, which usually happens when what happens in the ring is a cartoon of authentic bullfight. Det Off Bene, without crossing, as long as the Python always … and the sixth, which galloped in flags, was very fast in the last third and Bastos’ work was blurred.

And bad luck had the first on the list, Fabio Jiménez, a good capital also in Veronica, and with good, the low hands and the sense of temperament received what opened a place. He made the steering in the rods and became cheerful in Banderillas, but the good tone later turned to Sosía, with his face halfway, and the good concept of Bullfighter did not come to light as he deserved. He was right, of course, and the cold of Jiménez, for the conditions of his opponent and because he did not take the necessary step. When he managed the crutch with his left hand, he suffered from a somersault, the steering sought him in the sand and happily found no meat in his defeats. The fourth steering was injured with a flag and died standing. Astifino, with a trap of bull, of serious stamp, was meant on the horse and life fled shortly after starting the last third. He collapsed on a couple of occasions and had to be signed in the ring.

We hope that the three Bullfighters have a better future than the one present. I hope it was more than panoramic today. Confidently …
