Arles matador Juan Leal will be supported by Simon Casas and his partner from Albacete, Manuel Amador. “They are the ideal people to lead a new professional phase that seems very important for my career,” said Juan Leal. I am sure there is great motivation on both sides and this is the key to facing my future commitments. Juan Leal is one of the bullfighters who cut the most ears in the first category arena in the 2022 season, during which he achieved important triumphs in Arles, Nîmes, Madrid, Dax, Bayonne and especially Albacete. Juan Leal also wanted to conclude by showing his gratitude to Curro Molina. “Tout au long de l’année écoulée, j’ai eu la chance d’être accompanied by Curro Molina, a professionnel irréprochable, mais surtout an excellent Compagnon aux côtés duquel j’ai grandi en tant que torero, mais aussi en tant que nobody. “
The changes of apoderados continue
Juan del Álamo has entrusted the management of his career to Lázaro Carmona, the veteran of Linares bullfighting. The salmantino matador, who has just turned 31, is entering his twelfth year of alternation and has to his credit a Great Gate in Las Ventas. Until now, he was surrounded by Cucho and Javier Valverde as the last agents. The matador David de Miranda has just separated from Jorge Buendia, his apoderado for twelve years. Abel Valls, the Castellon matador, has chosen Jorge Herrerín to replace Luis de Pauloba. Many important matadors no longer have apoderados. Among the most prestigious are Daniel Luque, Fernando Robleño, Sergio Serrano, Uceda Leal, Colombo, Octavio Chacón, Rafaelillo, Andrés Palacios and Javier Castaño.
