PACO AGUADO (EFE). Madrid
The public that filled the Plaza de Las Ventas again today wanted to reward the right-handed Paco Ureña with the ear of the brave sixth of the afternoon, impressed by the spectacular and hard somersault that the Murcian suffered and after which he returned to the face of the bull before to be treated for the fracture of the left clavicle.
The moment of the mishap was, really, the only one that, for better or worse, came to worry the workers throughout the afternoon and even within the task itself, in which Ureña, with will but with a patent insecurity , was being overwhelmed by a weak example of Jandilla, who also grew due to the lack of command.
But, without bad “ideas”, only grown in its bravery by the mismanagement of the muletazos, the bull sneaked into Lorca’s with a right hand midway through the maneuver and threw it on his back with all his strength, to shake it again and let him fall plummeting onto the sand, visibly shaken.
The crews took him limp to the alley, but it was right there where Ureña, even with his broken collarbone, decided to return to his face to finish his work, in an excessive effort that, after a faulty thrust, ended up being rewarded by an impressed audience. after an afternoon without anything tasty to review.
And in this bullfight called “In memoriam”, epilogue of what, on paper, was the attractive bullfighting spring in Madrid, the shortlist did not pay tribute to the one remembered by Antoñete other than in the minute dedicated to him after the parade, not even taking into account the more than visible options that several of Jandilla’s specimens had.
Alejandro Talavante, for example, let go of the fifth of the big triumph bulls that have been his in less than a month in this arena, which in this case came out in the second turn and which he repeated tirelessly after the deceptions and with a point of temperament that added excitement to encounters but also opening up enough to reduce commitment.
Of course, without ideas, with little sincerity in the quotes and with even less ambition, the Extremaduran passed it quickly and with little control throughout a brief work that opened with a long rush to portagayola as an announcement of a decision that later did not demonstrated. Already with the fifth, his lack of temper and his defensive bullfighting made the measures of a brave animal that asked for better treatment diminish.
José María Manzanares, who was out due to illness in his second Isidril appearance, returned apparently with a greater will that he wanted to show with the one who opened the position, who, although cracked and looking for the boards, always took the canvases clearly throughout an itinerant mess in which the man from Alicante muttered with ease and without echo, for longer than the time he later spent getting rid of a hat from El Pilar, this one, without strength or substance.
For his part, before the mishap, Ureña was equally imprecise with a third party without excessive depth but with nobility, whom he demanded more and without ever finding the pulse or the connection to take advantage of his virtues.
CELEBRATION SHEET
Five bulls from Jandilla (the 3rd with the Vegahermosa iron), of good appearance, although uneven in volumes and shapes, some measured in strength and breed, but manageable, and two very outstanding, second and sixth, for their bravery. And a patch from El Pilar, coarse and of very little depth, which replaced an owner and another hat from the same iron, both returned as weak.
José María Manzanares, in burgundy and jet black: detached thrust (ovation); two jabs and front counter lunge (silence).
Alejandro Talavante, in Nazarene and gold: jab and thrust (silence after warning); puncture, detached slingshot and two crazy things (silence).
Paco Ureña, in leaf green and gold: detached rear lunge (silence); front drop lunge (ear). After the fight, he was treated in the infirmary for a displaced fracture of the left clavicle.
Among the crews, the picador Francisco María and the banderillero El Algabeño stood out for their effectiveness with the first in the fight.
Bullfight “In memoriam”, in honor of the bullfighter Antonio Chenel “Antoñete”, in whose memory a minute of silence was kept at the end of the parade. Full of “no tickets” (about 23,000 spectators), on a hot afternoon with some gusts of wind.
