Part 4/7:
Episodes from the past—specifically relating to dealings with players such as Daniel Alves and Hames Rodriguez—demonstrate São Paulo’s mismanagement in player recruitment. The allure of signing stars without thorough consideration of their current form and injury history poses a significant risk, compounding the already precarious financial situation.

Commentators note that sensationalism surrounding player signings often distracts from the necessity of strategic planning. São Paulo's tendency to chase media narratives rather than focus on pragmatic needs exposes its flaws. While bringing in big names might excite fans initially, it does little to address deeper issues impacting performance on the pitch.
