Morenito and Román, heads and tails in the last one by Vic-Fezensac | Culture

Once again, the Vic bullring witnessed both sides of the festival. While Morenito de Aranda left happy with three ears, Román left seriously injured on a stretcher. The glory and the blood.

And taking into account how the catch was, we can affirm that Román was reborn this Monday at around six in the afternoon. The Valencian was preparing to place the second on the horse when he was caught by the back of his left thigh. The bull from Los Maños, short-cornered, wearing pitons and very fine, had already sneaked in at the end of the capotero greeting. And there was no second warning.

Faced with the helplessness of everyone present, the animal kept him hooked, suspended in the air, for several agonizing seconds that seemed eternal. When he finally released his prey, Román, visibly in pain, stood up on his own two feet, but they quickly picked him up and took him to the infirmary.

There he was operated on with a three-way goring, one of them with an entry and exit hole, before being transferred by ambulance to the Mont de Marsan hospital.

With the square in a state of shock, Morenito, who had walked around the ring after appearing neat before the noble and dull first, was present as director of the fight and brought order to the chaos. Just for a few seconds; Shortly after, during the second third, his psychosis returned. The specimen from Los Maños, increasingly oriented, always with his face in the clouds in a defiant attitude, gave the banderilleros a hard time.

Crutch in hand, and based on firmness and forcing it a lot, trying to make it stay fixed on the deception, Morenito achieved what seemed impossible: that the animal, which never stopped measuring and looking at the lump, swallowed a few blows of the crutches from below. . He killed it well and passed an ear through the clamor.

The history of the room, which was called Saltacancelas, one of the most proven lines in this livestock farm. The bull, like the entire running of the bulls, was serious, but not exaggerated, very in character, astifino, low and tight in meat. And it didn’t fail. He took four rods (the last one, only noted) of bravo. He came long, fast and steady, like a rocket and then he pushed with his kidneys. The picador was already leaving when the animal took off two more times, having to put the capes on it to avoid a new encounter.

But, as things are, in the end, the brave crowed the goose. After attacking with caste, nobility and transmission in four or five rounds, Saltacancelas He began to miss the peace of the countryside and threatened to quit. Morenito de Aranda, who bullfighted him at will, accelerated at the beginning, almost always detached in the fundamental bullfighting, inspired and brilliant in the ornaments and details, held him as best he could and killed him with a straight and detached thrust.

The result: two ears for him and the bull’s return to the ring. All exaggerated, yes, but we already know that when he rules the passion…

Less passionate was the afternoon of El Rafi, who only confided – and timidly – before the noble and cracked sixth. Both with the third, meek, dull and lackluster, and with the fifth, who measured with a high face, he had a drink and walked very detachedly.
