Part 6/8:
Clubs like Fortaleza have demonstrated that organization and strategic planning can lead to success, even in a challenging economic landscape. Their ability to remain competitive, despite operating under more constrained circumstances when compared to larger clubs in São Paulo, highlights the fact that good management can achieve impressive results.

If teams like Fortaleza, with a proportional allocation of resources and clever organization, can force their way into the upper echelons of Brazilian football, why then can't other traditional clubs like Cruzeiro, Corinthians, or Vasco do the same?
