The bullfighter Andrés Roca Rey "prefers not to fight with Daniel Luque", as explained this Monday by the manager of the Maestranza bullring in Seville, Ramón Valencia, at the presentation of the Sevillian bullfighting season. Valencia has detailed the ins and outs of this season's negotiations, emphasizing
the impossibility of bringing together Roca Rey and Luque on the same poster
.
"We want to give satisfaction to the fans but we cannot get into the particular affairs of certain bullfighters," said Ramón Valencia, who assured that they have tried "absolutely everything from the first moment, including the great movement that there was at the beginning with Domingo of Resurrection" date on which they were betting on the presence of Daniel Luque.
The manager of the company Pagés, manager of the Sevillian arena, has opted for "a logical and normal reconciliation that will depend exclusively on them", in reference to both right-handers, and has admitted that Roca's seizure team had made it clear to him that " "I preferred not to fight with Luque."
The manager of the maestronte bullring also referred to
the absence of the Valencian bullfighter Enrique Ponce,
who will not set foot in the Plaza de la Maestranza in the year of his farewell.
"We knew that the season was going to start later and I called their representatives to propose the San Miguel Fair; there was talk of three days but it couldn't be on Saturday because they had Madrid signed," declared the businessman.
He explained that it was put on the table on Friday or Sunday of the autumn cycle and the representatives, Juan Ruiz father and son, raised the possibility to the Valencian bullfighter, who ended up declining the offer due to the proximity of that Madrid commitment. In addition, Pagés' manager has indicated that he even offered the possibility of mounting a fourth bullfight on Thursday "so that he would have a day of rest but in the end he did not see it."
