Resurrection Sunday in Maestranza does not usually fail. And this year, with more reason, for the ‘reappearance’ of Morante, which was received with an ovation. The expectation, by the clouds. The square, of boat boat, in one of those afternoons that does not fit a pin. What is said a ‘there are no tightened tickets, with the halls still saturated during the walk. The bullfighters take a world to make an appearance in the arena in the face of the passivity of the authority, and when they are planted in the third they are disassembled; The public believes that a minute of unnoticed silence will be kept. No; It is that the music band starts with the national anthem, the only novelty, without any explanation, at this beginning of the season.
The only one because when the chiqueros door opens and the celebration really begins, the cake of this unique inauguration is discovered once again: a run chosen with care for the occasion, just presentation, comfortable of pythons, soft and extremely kind; So good that they looked dumb, so noble that they seemed to memos.
Such circumstance did not prevent Daniel Luque from offering another master lesson, firmness, delivery and absolute dominance of the situation. Varied with the cape, he planted before his first’s pythons, he gave himself an arrimon of the real ones, and squeezed the noble onslaught of the animal, so that natural deep deep and a chicky window arose in the beginnings, and a measured task, overflowing placement in which unlikely crutch sprouted, obligatory consequence of its pundonor and intelligence.
He tried again before the sixth, bland and mesurrón, already based on exposing without hurry but with spectacular forcefulness, he drew up to six natural natural mediated his work. The music band came up and started a pasodoble, but it was the bullfighter himself who requested that he refrained from blowing because it was no time. A half -thrown average and the tolding of the bull in bending prevented a second ear, deserved without a doubt.
The protagonist of the afternoon was clear that he was Morante. He thanked three elegant reverence for the ovation with which he was received. And he showed a commendable decision since his first bull came to the ring. So soft was the animal that returned it to the pens. And with eight Veronic chickpeas and a half knee on the ground he received the envelope; Muleta in hand, tried by both hands, drew crutches by bass, carvings and four natural extraordinary ones to a bull who fell his good face. The room, the most shameless of the run, developed genius and a ugly style, so that Morante tried, and in view of what there was, he dispatched it promptly.
And Talavante … he really tried to be fine. He wore the cape for tafalleras, Verónica and Chicuelinas; He provided the fifth to the public, -the second one was closed in boards and did not want to fight -, he planted his knees in the second line and passed it, first, overlooked, a crush changed in the back, a right, and, and, already anchiesto, another of the contempt they knew to glory. But what started with good omen did not finish curdling in beauty. He muted him by both hands with irregular success, so that the work of the bullfighter did not reach the desired flight. It remains in the air if there was no mutual understanding, or highlighted the soreness of the bull than the bullfighter’s decision.
What really remained in the environment is that this run, first, is special; that bulls that are chosen are not usually appropriate for triumph; That Morante seems happily transfigured, and that Daniel Luque is a consecrated figure without discussion. Sure, surely he went to this run by date and companions, but not for the bulls. His knowledge deserves another type of opponents.
