Always following Messi like a shadow, Yassine Cheuko is ready to prevent anyone from approaching the Argentine player, including the police.

Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has always received the careful protection of Yassine Cheuko. This muscular bodyguard possesses comprehensive fighting skills and an extremely responsible working attitude. Cheuko does not allow any stranger to get close to Messi, whether before, during or after the match.

However, many fans still find ways to take pictures with Messi. The notable incident took place in the friendly match between FC Dallas and Inter Miami. While Messi and Luis Suarez were entering the field to prepare to warm up, a police officer on duty to protect the match approached the Argentine star.

The police officer pulled out his phone and asked to take a photo with Messi. The Argentinian star happily complied with the fan’s request, but just a few seconds later, Yassine Cheuko arrived and promptly pulled the police officer aside. It can be seen that Cheuko was quite considerate when she allowed the police officer to take photos with Messi but no more. As soon as this person wanted to chat more with Messi, Cheuko “pulled him under the armpits” and walked out.

Cheuko is Messi’s number one bodyguard in the 50-person bodyguard team hired to protect Messi and his family. Originally an MMA fighter, Cheuko is also proficient in Taekwondo and Boxing. Since taking on the task of protecting Messi, Cheuko has repeatedly prevented fans from unexpectedly approaching Messi. However, Cheuko has not encountered any truly serious situations.

The friendly match between FC Dallas and Inter Miami ended with a 0-1 defeat for Messi’s team. This was the second match between Messi and Luis Suarez in attack, but the pair of former Barcelona players did not show much.
