Juan Leal: "In front of a bull you cross that line that burns"

Juanal's bullfighting history (Paris, 1992) is chaired by determination: the one that led him, being practically a child, to take his bags to come to Spain with a single goal, to be a bullfighter.Then the landing arrived in Seville to grow in the difficult profession he had chosen.He drank from the powerful mirror of Paco Ojeda and trusted another Frenchman transplanted in the shadow of the Giralda, the photographer Maurice Berho, to start a path that has never been easy. En su compromiso con el toro le han llegado a acusar de atropellar la razón.Others call it delivery.Loyal was announced in Seville before the pandemic outbreak sent everything to the garet

The outbreak of the pandemia caught him announced in Seville

In 2020 it was announced in Seville but also in Madrid or Nimes and in the hand of Arles in which Talavante was going to reappear.And at the end of one day they were all falling.It was a process that I lived in two parts.I was locked in the field, going from one place to another and was not very aware of the news..Actually, we didn't know what Covid meant. Desde que salí de mi casa de chico y me vine a España soñaba con estar anunciado en la plaza de la Maestranza y no podía estar más contento pero de un día para otro te dicen que no...They snatch that dream, made me very excited and it was hard for me.From there I wanted to see the positive side and think that entrepreneurs will respect what is agreed and the debut in Seville as a bullfighter will catch me with two more years of preparation.

This has been like a long bullfighting winter of two years, it is a time to give the lead...

Actually, in my case, I can't complain much either.I have been fortunate to continue bullfighting these two years, less than in normal circumstances but I have yet been able to do the walk in important places and I feel fortunate for it. Pero sí, ha habido mucho tiempo de pensar, muchos días de entrenamientos, de preparación, de reflexión mental...I hope that all this of its fruits this season of 2022 that if God wants will start and end normally.

That mentalization is important.Bullfighters are one of the professionals who experience the greatest loneliness;They need that chosen isolation.

Yes, of course.Physical and technical preparation is important and living room training are the basis for a bullfighter but there are other factors that will consider those who are not always given the importance they deserve: it is that mental preparation, necessary to face challenges such as beingannounced in squares like Seville.It is a responsibility that must be assimilated as a bullfighter and as an artist.Bullfighting, after all, is an art and the bullfighters are artists.And any artist needs that reflection to make the best of himself.

But it is an art that has a particularity that makes it unique: it demands a conscious delivery of one's own integrity.

That is part of the bullfighting rules.When I put on the bullfight dress I do it assuming all the consequences and I know perfectly that the accident can arrive.It has come, it happened to me but above all, as a bullfighter I am, the most important thing is delivery.Being in front of an animal forces you to cross that line that burns, as Master Ojeda said.There the cornadas hurt and bulls hurt.But I take that out.

Has talked about Paco Ojeda...What does the teacher have to do with his concept?

When I was a boy and lived in France he was one of the bullfighters of maximum dimension.From an early age I had heard of Ojeda and yes, it is one of my mirrors.But we can go back further back.I always liked it and I have had a beautiful relationship with Master Pedrés.He was a bullfighter who opened that path in which Dámaso Gónzález then traveled and then Paco Ojeda who collects everything and makes him his own.

From the outside things look different and it is difficult to assume what is happening or feels in front of a bull.

Everything is supplemented with delivery.You wear bullfighter and you have to give yourself to a bull, an onslaught and an audience.And that adds to the responsibility that represents the situation in which I am or we are the bullfighters that we want to make our way. Necesitamos normalizarlo, saber que un día te pueden coger porque los toros están para eso, para coger.You have to try not to take you but you have to bet to happen something, so that the triumph arrives.The fuck is there, it can happen and that's why we are bullfighters.It is not the goal but you must have it assumed.Of course, there are days and animals that force you to that physical commitment to achieve triumph.

I had talked about that arles poster with Talavante that finally could not occur.Could something be repeated?

It was a decision of Talavante himself, not the businessman.I wanted to be in Arles for reappearance and with a bullfighter there.I was very excited and hopefully....I am announced in Arles with the jandilla run and in my hands is trying to repeat that poster.

They are days of pools, rumors, compounds, fairs that stand up...Do bullfighters are aware of all that or abstracted from that jaleo?

I speak for myself.I am a bullfighter and I focus on training so that when the bull comes out I can get the most out of it.The rest is the work of the proxies.Now I have Simón Casas with Curro Molina and they are the ones in charge of these efforts.You hear each other and the attorneys themselves tell us where the shots go.What I want is to fight and trust them.

January has passed.Less is less and less for the first Clarinazo of 2022.You have to be prepared.

Pues me encuentro muy bien, con el cuchillo entre los dientes y deseando que salga el toro, echando de menos esa presión que sentimos cuando nos vemos anunciados.I want to start the season to take another twist to my bullfight and try that this work, that two -year winter we mentioned, can be noticed in the square.
