Most enthusiasts, and even the general public, <strong>know it refers to a &#8220;reserve&#8221; matador<\/strong>, <strong>who steps in when one of the main matadors is gored or injured and cannot continue the fight<\/strong>. But how many people truly understand the responsibilities and duties of a <em>sobresaliente<\/em> during the bullfight? In this article, Servitoro sheds light on these and other questions.<\/p><p>Firstly, it\u2019s important <strong>to clarify that <em>sobresalientes<\/em> are contracted by the company organising the event<\/strong>. If it\u2019s a mano-a-mano bullfight (two matadors facing each other), the two main matadors will each be accompanied by a <em>sobresaliente<\/em>. However, if there is only one matador facing six bulls, there will be two &#8220;reserve matadors&#8221; making the walk behind the headliner.<\/p><p>Their primary function, as mentioned, is to take over the bullfighting duties if the main matadors suffer severe injuries. However, they also assist during the bullfight, <strong>such as entering the arena to help during the <em>banderillas<\/em> phase if it\u2019s a mano-a-mano, or standing in the middle of the ring to protect the <em>subalterno<\/em> who is handling the second third of the fight in case of an unexpected charge from the bull.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7210239 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7210239\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8452\" alt=\"Sobresaliente \u00c1lvaro de la Calle - 10 octubre 2022 en Madrid\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Image: Plaza 1.

Faced with a lack of contracts, they see this role as an opportunity to continue working in their profession. Matadors like <strong>Fernando Mart\u00edn \u201cSacromonte\u201d, Abelardo Granada, Nicasio P\u00e9rez \u201cCesterito\u201d, or Manolo G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, and more recently <strong>Enrique Mart\u00ednez \u201cChapurra\u201d, David Saleri, Salvador Ruano, Miguel \u00c1ngel S\u00e1nchez, and \u00c1lvaro de la Calle<\/strong> have taken on this role frequently.<\/p><p>One of the most significant cases in recent years is that of <a title=\"\u00c1lvaro de la Calle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/3920-tickets-alvaro-de-la-calle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\u00c1lvaro de la Calle<\/strong><\/a>. He was forced to take the lead in the bullfight during the 2013 Feria de Bego\u00f1a in Gij\u00f3n when both Antonio Ferrera and Javier Casta\u00f1o were injured. De la Calle successfully fought a bull from the La Quinta ranch, cutting off an ear after a powerful performance. Again, in Madrid in 2022, <strong>he handled five bulls after Emilio de Justo was injured, earning a lap of honour after killing an impressive bull from the Victoriano del R\u00edo ranch<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>David S\u00e1nchez \u201cSaleri\u201d<\/strong>, in 2001, ended up fighting an entire bullfight of Los Guateles in Olivenza after Pedrito de Portugal, who was supposed to fight solo, was injured during the first bull of the evening. Years later, during the 2008 Feria de Oto\u00f1o, Saleri had to kill the last bull from Fuente Ymbro after Miguel \u00c1ngel Perera suffered a serious injury in the previous bout.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c74eacc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c74eacc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-vuelta-al-ruedo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8454\" alt=\"\u00c1lvaro de la Calle da una vuelta al ruedo en Las Ventas - 10 octubre 2022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-vuelta-al-ruedo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-vuelta-al-ruedo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alvaro-de-la-calle-10-abril-2022-vuelta-al-ruedo-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Image: Plaza 1. \u00c1lvaro de la Calle Takes a Lap of Honour at Las Ventas \u2013 10th October 2022<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ce0fc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ce0fc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>However, there are times when the <em>sobresalientes<\/em> themselves get injured.
