The team’s veteran No. 10 and Fayzullayev’s elder mirror — where Fayzullayev runs at defenders, Masharipov stays inside the structure and finds the killer pass. The two of them give Cannavaro a flexible attacking-midfield rotation that can adapt to whatever shape Uzbekistan need to take against the very different challenges of Portugal, DR Congo, and Colombia.
He is also the dressing-room glue. Uzbekistan have spent a generation as Asia’s nearly team — they reached AFC Asian Cup semifinals and quarter-finals in 2011, 2015, and 2019, but lost the qualifying playoffs for both 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Masharipov is the player who has lived through all of that, and his role at this tournament is partly about translating that experience into a squad making its World Cup debut.
