Fallas Fair: Emilio de Justo, the afternoon task | Culture

The afternoon task, one of those of the Fair, was that of the fifth of Núñez del Cuvillo. A serious bull, especially with his face, set, the one that brought out the most breed of the lot. He didn’t go very far, he just let himself go, but he soon discovered the good background he had. De Justo saw it right away, after doubling with bullfighting in the first stages, he went to the third with determination. A compact task, without gaps. The bull was very involved in the muleta of Emilio de Justo who governed the situation at all times. A ruin, without mounting the muleta with the sword, with his left hand, raised the clamor. But there was something else left, a final round by naturals standing together that ended up being handed over to the people. The bullfighter did not reserve anything. The somewhat detached sword took away from him a greater triumph that he was already licking.

He was committed to his first one, with attitude. A good bull that second of the afternoon, with a slight annoying gazapeo that always made De Justo lose steps between muletazo and muletazo. Furthermore, a small annoying wind bothered him in some trance. He interspersed loose passes, but the task lacked the connection to reach the people in a more direct way.

Academic, well-rounded, also at ease with the bull, he showed himself, with whom he opened a bullfight. A good bull that did not oppose at any time, that had just enough strength, but enough breath to endure a muleta task. There were beautiful moments, although without infecting the lines. Talavante perhaps needed to get a little more angry.

Almost more of the same in the room, a bull that took the muleta without further ado, as if out of obligation. Talavante put together a long task and again with an almost insulting self-sufficiency. Also without giving much importance. Among so many batches, one stood out as natural, the bull was well handled, with nerve. The rest was flat matter; That task lacked tension.

The game of the third, who always came to the pass, was dead, and the work of . Continuous hooks and never finding the way to see any light. Very cold, too. And for dessert, an ugly crash. The sixth seemed to have more air, but Ortega couldn’t quite pick up the pace. There were too many compromises, even disarmament, and an evident lack of government.

Núñez del Cuvillo’s bullfight, with a very correct presence, with very offensive bulls in their faces, was very bullfighting, but he lacked enough spark to make his game more interesting. The Talavante lot and the fifth were the most notable. Those of Ortega, insipid although without posing serious problems. They simply went through a mere bureaucratic procedure.
