After the farewells of Enrique Ponce last week, the Madrid Autumn Fair continues with one of the posters that has aroused the most expectations. The leading trio this Friday afternoon was made up of: Jose Maria Manzanares, Roman And Thomas Rufo in front of the bulls of Puerto de San Lorenzo and La Ventana del Puerto.
It was a very uneven afternoon, Román left a big task against the second, Manzanares had no options with his spell and Tomás Rufo completed a very real task that almost brought victory against the sixth.
José María Manzanares opened the afternoon with Cubatist of The port of San Lorenzo, whom he greeted with a good series of veronicas. The animal was involved in the horse after breaking the picador’s pole. The pairs of flags stood out. Manzanares’ task began with the two pitons standing together, giving the animal space when he detected that it was often heading toward a draw. The animal became less and less important, leaving practically no option for the native of Alicante, after having tested it with the two pitons, especially highlighting the one on the right where he left great moments. Without ceasing its efforts, the public became more and more cold. Seeing no possibility for this first, the man from Alicante decided to shorten it. After several punctures, he finished his first task of the afternoon.
Continuous Roman before a middle name Cubilon also from El Puerto just as serious as the precedent he received for Veronica. After the horse, Román offered the show to the public. He took the animal to the media where he began the task, showing stunning streaks on his right hand. He followed the natural where the charge was more complicated and the bull was not still. He finished with details using ballet flats and finished the task with a half split. He received a loud ovation.
Thomas Rufo He came out against a third of the afternoon who was injured and replaced by a hat of Juan-Pédro Domecq who got his hands on the cape a lot early on. He was right about the horse and toasted Rufo. He anchored himself on his knees to begin the task, fighting to the left. It was difficult for him to string together each natural, but each one was better than the last. Sometimes the bull would lose its hands, making it difficult. He fought every pass like it was his last, giving it until the end. He finished with a low lunge without a chance to win a trophy.
In the middle of the afternoon, with the fourth bull from La Ventana to Manzanares, Luminous Beardwhich was quite complicated and with virtually no transmission since its release. He had no options with the cape and he didn’t shine on horseback. The man from Alicante kept trying to extract what little he had from the two pitons with loose muleta blows, but it was not possible. Additionally, the task also failed to connect to power lines. After seeing the zero expectations, he had no choice but to interrupt with a loud shove. Bitter afternoon for Manzanares.
The fifth also of La Ventana del Puerto by name rally with almost no more strength since his departure. He left Román no option with the cape and with the muleta it cost him even more. After a lot of effort, the Valencian, after giving him distance, managed to put out a good series on the right. The task was unable to enter the lines due to the poor conditions of the animal which prevented it from advancing in the task. He finished after a half lunge. With no options for a prize, it was a difficult afternoon for Román.
Tomás Rufo closed the afternoon against a sixth from El Puerto de San Lorenzo, Farder», with a lot of class, to whom he greeted Veronica, winning the olés from the stands. He left excellent work from start to finish, he started with a nice high-level series with the right hand, this hand being the protagonist of almost the entire work. He continued with very tasteful naturals and came back with long right hands with hand changes that dazzled the audience. He finished with his knee bent, fighting with the same hand, leaving a very good taste in his mouth at the end of his task. He finished with a half-lunge and must have taken advantage of the blunder. He was returned to the ring after the president’s request for public attention was not answered.
