"Roca Rey prefers not to fight with Daniel Luque," according to the manager of the Maestranza. Ramón Valencia has detailed the ins and outs of this season's negotiations.

Valencia: "We want to give satisfaction to the fans but we cannot get into the particular affairs of certain bullfighters" The manager also referred to the absence of the Valencian bullfighter Enrique Ponce, who will not set foot in the Plaza de la Maerte in the year of his farewell.
