Le novillero espagnol a coupé trois oreilles à Millas, ce dimanche, alors que Jarocho a été blessé par son premier novillo dans la corrida concours de ganaderias françaises.
As he prepares to bid farewell to the escalafon of novilleros by taking his alternative on September 14, Samuel Navalon demonstrates with each paseo that he is certainly the best novillero of the moment and a promise for the future in the upper echelon.
Navalon shines against the novillo of San Sebastian
Coming to Millas this Sunday to replace the injured Tristan Barroso, the Valencia novillero triumphed by cutting three ears. Faced with a noble Gallon novillo, his faena gained momentum and he was awarded an effective sword. Samuel Navalon then shone in front of an excellent San Sebastian novillo, who was awarded the Prize of this "competition" by drawing a well-constructed, deep and slow faena. Taking advantage of the nobility and steadiness of the brave, the first series on the right bank set the scene before culminating in the numerous series of naturals with perfect physique. Two undeniable ears rewarded his performance.
Rich from his triumph in Madrid this year, Jarocho was the second headliner of this Sunday cartel. Facing a novillo with a short and dangerous charge from Fernay, the novillero suffered a severe voltereta that caused him an ear injury and a head trauma. After finishing his faena and receiving a vuelta for his effort, Jarocho was taken to the hospital in Perpignan after this first fight.
Miguel Andrades, who had been convincing in Céret last month, showed the same determination with the cape, the banderillas and during the faenas. His undeniable desire did not mask certain limitations with the steels against his three opponents and he only very partially took advantage of the qualities of his first novillo who proved to be complete in each phase of the fight.
His second in the Blohorn iron also had magnificent depth and class on the left horn. Although he drew some notable naturals, the public was left wanting more because the novillo allowed the faena to be given another dimension. On the other hand, the Jalabert he fought in place of the injured Jarocho did not offer him any options because the novillo quickly stopped at the start of the faena.
