According to Bolavip, MLS officials have decided to prohibit Lionel Messi's personal bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, from entering the soccer field during league matches.
The source states that the ban is due to the presence of security personnel at each stadium, which does not require additional staff. Cheuko has drawn attention several times when fans rushed onto the field to take pictures with the Argentine forward.
They don’t allow me to be on the field anymore. I was in Europe for seven years working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. I arrived in the United States, and in 20 months of work, 16 people have already invaded the pitch. I’m not the problem. Let me help Messi. I'm not better than anyone, but I have a wealth of experience in Europe. It's fine, I understand their decision, but I think we could do better.
Yassine Cheuko is a former U.S. Army special forces member with combat experience in various missions. He also has a background in martial arts and has even participated in several MMA fights.
It's worth noting that he has been working with Lionel Messi since August 2023. Previously, Cheuko tackled a fan who rushed towards Messi during an MLS match against Sporting Kansas City. In other news, he pushed a security staff member at the Hong Kong airport.
