The poster was highly anticipated in Consuegra, as evidenced by the fact that the square recorded the best entry of the last decade. But this time, the cattle of Alcurrucén were not up to par, which harmed the interest shown by the bullfighters. Daniel Luqué and Tomás Rufo hand in hand.
The Sevillian had to do his best in the first and pamper him, because he was clearly weak. At mid-height, he knew how to apply the gentle treatment he demanded. In his second, of uncertain attack, he developed a bullfighting practice that was not without art, especially with his right hand. And in his third, which was never properly delivered to the crutch, he managed to obtain a series of very consistent naturals.
If there is something that unites the squares of Consuegra, which dates back to 1882, and Talavera de la Reina, from 1890, it is that both were inaugurated by Fernando Gómez “El Gallo”, father of the great Joselito. That is why Tomás Rufo, after his triumphant “encirclement” on Saturday in the City of Ceramics, where he even pardoned a bull from Freixo, wanted to enclose it next to the castle and the mills of the hill of Calderico.
The native of Toledo came with enthusiasm and in his first match he tempered the attacks of the bull and his work went from less to more. In his second, which did not accept the crutch for the left piton, he took it to the right finishing with deep thoracic passes. And in the one that closed the market, he put all the meat on the grill. He showed himself with the cape in a series of artistic veronicas finished with a beautiful stocking. Kneeling on the ground, a task that is remembered began. Although he was knocked down by the bull, he performed a sober bullfight, with endless rounds that triggered cheers in the stands. Too bad he is not gifted with steel, thus spoiling a victory that could have been resounding.
In addition, the subordinates: Raúl Carriol, Jesús Arruga, Fernando Sánchez and José Luis Triviño dismounted in a magnificent kind of banderillas, respectively in the fifth and sixth bull.
