Amitabh Malhotra
Managing director and head global banking, HSBC
Team he supports: Brazil
My favourite team is Brazil, for the brand of football they play, right from the days of the legendary Zico and Sócrates. A lot of their players play across French, Spanish and EPL, which makes them versatile. Football really brings out a combination of individual brilliance and the team sport. It teaches one to work with others, understand their potential and brings out the best from each other. Vinicius Jr, Alisson Becker and Ederson are my favourite players. While I want Brazil to win in Qatar, one should never rule out Germany or Argentina.
