The Seville bullfighting subscription posters can clearly be improved. And José María Garzón, the brand new businessman, is aware of this higher than anybody. He is aware of that, deep down, they symbolize a disappointment for individuals who have trusted that his touchdown in La Maestranza would imply a change, a novelty and a break with the inertia of the previous.
Perhaps, as a result of the expectations have been very excessive; Maybe, who is aware of, as a result of he has been overrated, and Garzón is simply one other member of the system, aggravated on this case by his standing as Juan Ortega’s agent.
He additionally is aware of that the subscription posters appear to be primarily based on the draft that Ramón Valencia – the businessman badly ousted by the Real Maestranza – left forgotten in a drawer, and that they don’t stand out exactly for his or her improvements. More of the identical. And somebody may conclude that saddlebags weren’t wanted for that journey.
The businessman tries to cover behind the fabric lack of time, and that he needed to put the whole lot again collectively when he bought Morante’s sure, and it’s true. But it has had sufficient to incorporate all these beneficial, to reward some bullfighters excessively and overlook about others, and to have the identical outdated ranches return for one more yr.
What deserves adorn Juan Ortega and Pablo Aguado to look 4 afternoons within the season ticket? And to Talavante and Manzanares to be three?
There are some names. What deserves adorn Juan Ortega and Pablo Aguado to spend 4 afternoons within the season ticket? And what are those in Talavante and Manzanares to make three Paseíllos? Between the 4 of them they occupy 14 positions and block the way in which for others with sufficient values to be in Seville.
Out of respect for folks, the names of modest bullfighters who seem one afternoon for no obvious purpose apart from shut suggestion are omitted.
Garzón boasts that he has employed representatives of the brand new technology: Molina, Víctor Hernández, Aarón Palacio, Zulueta and Fabio Jiménez, however he omits the very lengthy listing of matadors who’ve been not noted for causes which can be unknown past the same old tagline that ‘all of them do not match’. There are, amongst others, Ginés Marín, Curro Díaz, Fernando Adrián, Antonio Ferrera, Paco Ureña, Samuel Navalón, Jarocho, Adrián de Torres, Calerito, Ginés Marín, Mario Navas, Daniel Crespo, Clemente, Oliva Soto, El Astigitano… And they don’t seem to be the one ones. (The instances of Diego Ventura and Marco Pérez have been defined by the businessman in a latest press convention).
Garzón is correct when he says that you must have the figures so that individuals come to the field workplace; Yes, however we should make recognized the so-called rising bullfighters to construct the long run, if the veterans resolve to go away as soon as and for all in some unspecified time in the future.
And the bulls? Garzón has restricted himself to confirming the listing of livestock farms that Ramón Valencia had permitted.
How can the debut of Álvaro Núñez’s cattle ranch and the presence of Puerto de San Lorenzo be bought as novelty? It is just not acceptable that the identical irons from yearly return – a few them twice – for a premiere truthful that wants renewal, particularly within the bulls part.
That he has had little or no time…! Agreed, however the ensuing truthful is disappointing as a result of there are undeserved privileges, many attention-grabbing bullfighters who’re not noted of the posters and a crop of bulls that have been crying out for a renewal.
And from right here a query arises: is that this the challenge that Garzón had considered for Seville or is the 2026 subscription nothing greater than the draft of a brand new technique that imprints the important innovation that the long run calls for?
Great success of the businessman in convincing Morante to destroy the ceremony, the liturgy and the seriousness and resolve to ‘reappear’ in Seville
Will there be a revolution subsequent yr? Perhaps a average and silent change? It is just not recognized. For now, the dreamed change should wait, as a result of what is just not clear is whether or not Garzón has come to provide a distinct persona of his personal to bullfighting Seville or just to comply with within the footsteps of the Pagés firm. That’s the dilemma.
By the way in which, he was very profitable in convincing Morante to throw away the ceremony, the liturgy and the seriousness and resolve reappear in Seville, which has saved Garzón’s life and given colour to the fertilizer. And additionally a terrific thought is the celebration of the poster presentation gala.
But one other essential unknown stays: whether or not the Royal Maestranza de Caballería has modified corporations to enhance administration or in order that the whole lot stays the identical however with an individual who’s extra open to dialogue; In different phrases, if she was dissatisfied with Pagés’ administration or simply very indignant in regards to the completely happy enterprise of lawsuits.
Of course, the homeowners of the sq., so conservative, should not like experiments, and would favor to comply with the recommendation that Alfonso
Something related he may say to his new tenant: “José María, don’t get into trouble, and you know, from Morante to Juan Pedro, and from Juan Pedro to Morante…”.
