Istres

He cuts off three ears

The young novillero Salmantino succeeded in his presentation in novillada piqué by cutting off three ears at the Gallon, including two at the 3rd, “Despierto” No. 21 honored with a posthumous vuelta.

It was in front of a full Palio arena and the One Toros cameras that Marco Perez performed his first novillada piqué, solo and wore his first costume of lights in Europe…

Following veterinary problems, he did so in front of novillos from the Gallon Brothers, replacing the Garcigrande initially planned. Gallons that he had bulled at the Gimeaux corrals on Sunday April 9, 2017 during his presentation in France… And which once again allowed him to triumph, Marco Perez inviting one of the ganadero, Jean-Pierre to share his vuelta at the 3rd.

The scenario was ideal until the penultimate. A salute, an ear, two ears and… then the hope of a final great faena vanished, for lack of opponent… At just 16 years old, Juan Bautista’s protégé displayed quite impressive knowledge, an authority on the track and a sense of lidia even if he had more difficulty facing the last one. Marco Pérez, an ex niño sabio, also has a corte bullfighter, a varied register both on the cape and on the muleta and a toreria that few bullfighters have… Everything was not perfect and in particular the handling of the sword but Time takes time. A strong wind and cool temperatures will not have helped the young bullfighter either.

His first faena was brindled at his apoderado and culminated on the right with a convenient novillo lacking strength and substance with a touch of genio that he knew how to embark on a few beautiful sequences before drying with the weapons. He greeted his second in command with a larga de rodilla before decided hoodazos and a quit by chicuelinas. He offered a Gallon noble but with limited strength right-handed school series with temple and gentleness before applying the same rhythm on the other edge preceding a return to the right, long inverted circulars and a sword on the second try…

The best moment came with the third chapter, attacking his faena with both knees on the ground before linking three gala naturals and continuing by linking ambidextrous series with perfect curves, increasing the interest of his composition until the ultimate natural in slow motion. And there the sword was there despite a somewhat long effect…

He will wait for the last one at porta gayola, stringing together sumptuous veronicas highlighted by the music… Just in strength and reluctant with his short loads, the final novillo was not the one of the party, even if he managed to lengthen his legs a little. loads on the left. And as he got lost with the descabello, silence reigned.

He will leave the Palio d’Istres through the front door, to a standing ovation from the public…

–Mark Perez (sky blue and gold): Hello after notice, ear, two ears and silence after notice.

Sobresaliente: Pablo Jaramillo (sangre y oro). Pst: K. Kehiha. Overcast skies with violent mistral and temperatures going to moderate, chilly at the end. A minute of silence in memory of Pepe de Montijo before a presentation of a souvenir on track to Marco Perez for this exceptional day by Mr Bernardini, mayor of Istres and B. Carbuccia director of the arenas.

Four bulls Gallon Brothers variously presented, very convenient the opening one, better the 3rd, rewarded with a posthumous lap, to a lesser degree the second, the last, the least interesting, weighing down the finale a little. A light pike and two pairs of banderillas for everyone. An intermission in the middle of the festejo with a more or less flamenco show added nothing to the affair.
