Second Corpus bullfight with a quarter of the attendees in the stalls, a hot afternoon like the previous ones this week of the Toledo fair.
At the end of the paseo, a minute of silence was observed for the death of the teacher Andrés Vázquez and Eugenio de Mora was honored in the ring, for his 25 years of alternative, by the bullring businessman, Nacho Lloret, and the president of the community of owners of the plaza, Eduardo Martín Peñato.
In the pigsties, six bulls from the cattle of the land of the Count of Mayalde, which ultimately came out as nobles and collaborators, standing out the extraordinary fifth devised by Eugenio de Mora.
The moracho made the paseo in the Mendigorría arena precisely the year in which a quarter of a century of his doctorate was completed, sheathed in a white and gold suit; responsibly and at the same time knowing that throughout this stage he has been the bullfighting benchmark of our province.
The best bullfighting came from his wrists, but the sword closed the big door, which he would have opened if he hadn’t failed in supreme luck.
He received his first enemy with ease, knowing the nobility of the horned man despite being just strong. And he dedicated the task to Don Santiago Calvo, who was dean of the cathedral of Toledo, a great fan of bullfighting, who occupied a front of the stands and who received an affectionate ovation from the respectable one when picking up the bullfighter’s cap.
Soft in his strokes, taking the animal to medium height and leaving relaxed moments with pleasure with his right hand. He was putting the morlaco in the basket and it was becoming more entrenched in the ring, which made the task heat up, allowing him to cut off the only ear he took from the bullring this afternoon.
The second bull of the moracho was a serious cinqueño from Rafael Finat’s ranch that put Eugenio in serious trouble at first, although he knew how to solve the job with skill.
With the crutch in his hand, he is a prodigy and his mettle is well known, which earned him to have faith in an animal that went further and always wanted to catch the tricks from below. His fretting connected with the lines and the ears were practically in his hand, but the surprising failure to spades buried his chance of victory.
The fifth of the afternoon and third of the Toledo bullfighter was the best of the celebration. A black animal, short and topped, that did the plane for both pythons since it came out into the arena. The most important work was done with the cloth Eugenio De Mora, who always quoted the burel at length, who took it frankly and traveled, while slowing down in the temple of the wrists of the sword.
The level reached in this task was enormous, one of the best tasks that Eugenio has seen in the capital’s plaza, with a respectable dedication and a bullfighter corresponding in his movement with both hands. The problem came when it came time to go crazy, because he buried the steel at the top at the first attempt, but the crosshead did not want to do its job and everything was left in an affectionate return to the ring
Álvaro Lorenzo could also have left the Mendigorría bullring on his shoulders, but the temper of his steel prevented him from doing so. Formerly, the matadors used swords from the Bermejo house, famous for their quality and their effectiveness in supreme luck. But now the effectiveness that we are used to seeing in bullfighters remains a mirage.
The bullfighter from the capital did not want to be left behind and stopped his first animal with great cadence and harmony. Delivered from the start, he doubled over with the horn and drove it as far as his wrists could develop. Sewn to the fabrics he carried the snout of the bull, which he obeyed without protest, at the same time that he was strengthening himself in his attacks and in his route. The cross was in supreme luck and was thanked for the respectable work of the sword.
In the afternoon room, an animal with kindness, we again saw Lorenzo’s good work with the cape, especially in a shot of an anthological stocking.
The tragic point of the afternoon was when the banderillero Víctor Cañas was first seized by the animal when trying to nail a risky pair, being later shaken on the ground, which caused him two serious injuries: one in the head and another in the right armpit.
Amidst the bewilderment, Lorenzo was able to convince the public that what was important was in the ring and, based on persistence, he did an important job, which permeated the audience. But once again the tizona did not want to enter the orthodox site and Álvaro lost another ear that he practically had in his hand.
Good was the task that closed the square, a bull of the Count of Mayalde that moved and to which Lorenzo knew how to give his place space to bring him toreado with temper behind the hip. He had details of quality and bullfighting, but the sign of the afternoon, Lorenzo’s sword, again took away another ear that he could have cut off.
