El Juli’s version with La Quinta’s second bull in yesterday’s bullfight in Las Ventas was that of a geometric, cerebral, clairvoyant, determined, spontaneous and natural bullfighter. Nothing new, and yet its freshness and inspiration made it seem like an updated version. The three stockings—one faint and two very braided and bandaged—with which he finished off the reception sets generously and appropriately, were the first stroke of that fresh inspiration, the watchword of what came later in monumental Madrid. With a fifth that wasn’t easy, came the version of Juli who had become a sorcerer’s apprentice in full maturity. Powerful, determined and resounding.
Morante hit him with nice muletazos to open the track and later some more. The fourth, genius, face up, defended himself; Morante limited himself to fighting ahead without getting angry. The fate of Aguado, two noble bulls, surprised him. Or he hadn’t expected it that way. Fighting after El Juli in both teams was a handicap.
