The Valencian bullfighter Román has been caught in a terrifying way in the bullfight that is being held this afternoon in the French bullring of Vic Fezensac.
It happened during the fight of the second in the afternoon, at the Los Maños cattle ranch, when he was preparing to take the horse in the third of rods. The bull attacked him with violence, seizing him with the left python on his thigh and carrying him hanging from it for a few agonizing seconds, until he fell on the sand, from where he was picked up by the crews and into the arms of his fellow poster Morenito de Aranda and the banderillero Atonio Chacón were carried to the arena infirmary, while the public remained in an overwhelming silence. Moreniito de Aranda took charge of fighting that bull and cut off one of its ears.
From that moment on the bullfight was suspended pending news from the infirmary. The first information spoke of a goring in the thigh with an entry and exit hole and another in the scrotum and that after an initial intervention he was going to be transferred by ambulance to a hospital in Mont de Marsan.
Morenito de Aranda and El Rafi, their teammates and the rest of the crews remained near the infirmary from which, after a while, more encouraging news arrived because apparently the goring in the thigh affects the muscles but not the vessels. blood vessels, although “the gap” was large.
On Román’s social media account it has just been reported that “the goring has three trajectories, one of them with an exit hole and a rupture of the scrotal vessel.”
Last May 11, in the second bullfight of the San Isidro Fair, Román had a great afternoon in Las Ventas, cutting off an ear and almost opening the Puerta Grande, which is why his name is on the lips of fans as one of the winners and bullfighter to follow in the season. Now we have to hope that the magnitude of the mishap is less than what the tremendous moment experienced in the French arena suggested and will allow him to return to the arena in the shortest possible time.
Note that the Los Maños ranch is one of those considered “tough” and that one of its bulls fatally gored the right-handed Víctor Barrio in the bullring of Teruel, in 2016.
