• Tomás Rufo: "To fight with the figures implies a 200% requirement"

  • And El Juli, unleashed from teaching, devoured the artists

Madrid is burning at more than thirty degrees and the forecasts predict a fire in Las Ventas, turned into a volcano from today with the landing of Roca Rey -together with José María Manzanares [confirms Fernando Adrián with bulls from Victoriano del Río]-.

But when the madness has been unleashed at stratospheric levels, it is for tomorrow's poster.

There is not a single ticket

.

What's the matter?

Of all the 29 bullfights of the San Isidro Fair, this May 20 was the first to hang the "no tickets", even before the first poster with the finished paper, the

sold out

of May 11, when - capitalized- of El Juli, which is also announced on 20-M, closing the circle, multiplying the halo.

“The ticket pressure is tremendous.

There is nothing.

Neither in VIP nor in resale

.

It was the first one in the whole series that sold everything, then today's [Manzanares and Roca Rey, or vivecersa].

And for next week it is already sold out on the 25th, 26th and 27th. Let's see if we are lucky and there is a Puerta Grande, which encourages even more, "says Rafael Garrido, visible head of Plaza 1.

What unleashes the expectation on 20-M?

JL's last blast -triggered his state of grace from Seville- with La Quinta is the icing on the second of Alejandro Talavante's four afternoons in his reappearance in Spain and the confirmation of Tomás Rufo, who comes with a bang -beyond of the Puerta del Príncipe in his presentation at the Maestranza, the conditions he projected, his determination, the category of his left, the sound of his cape, the cannon of his sword.

Of the just seven runs that he has added since he took the alternative on

September 11, 2021

He has not gotten off the triumphal car, always between figures: «They are two posters in the middle of San Isidro.

It's my confirmation.

As far as I've been able to fight, things have gone quite well.

[Four ears in his alternative in Valladolid;

four ears at his first fair, La Magdalena in 2022;

three in Seville...].

The public will wait for me in a certain way to measure me

, to contrast whether what is being said about me is true or coincidence," TR said in the interview published by EL MUNDO in its San Isidro special.

«The responsibility of fighting with the figures is another, the yardstick is different.

That these guys have done great things to the bulls and I don't want to be left behind.

It implies demanding 200% of me to try to match them, ”concluded the bullfighter with missile speed to the dome of the ranks.

More than

45,000 people will collapse the first bullring in the world

between these two afternoons of San Isidro that give maximum validity to bullfighting in the year 22 of the 21st century.
