Messi has caused an earthquake overseas, which comes with its own risks
Lionel Messi’s transfer to Inter Miami has caused a huge stir overseas, with the star Argentine surrounded by a host of eager fans in every shot.
Messi hasn’t just piqued fans’ interest in all of overseas football. He has lifted David Beckham’s flagging club with his performances on the pitch and transformed the team from the tail of the table into a winning machine. Inter Miami have thus far never known the bitterness of defeat.
The Argentine cannonballer has managed to score 11 goals in nine games, adding three assists and making a significant contribution to winning the club’s first trophy. During the celebrations, fans noticed a mysterious figure lingering in close proximity to Messi.
Who is the man looking after the safety of the Argentine star?
That man is Yassine Chueko, who has become a hit on social media in the last week. A man who doesn’t move a step away from Messi and can be seen in virtually every picture of him. His mission? Protecting the star Argentine.
He was hired as Messi’s bodyguard on the recommendation of club owner David Beckham. La Nacion server has come up with detailed information surrounding his enigmatic figure and it has to be admitted that Inter’s most valuable commodity is duly taken care of.
Yassine Chueko is a former US Army soldier who participated in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the United States Navy. In addition, he shares martial arts posts on his social media, which also feature boxing and MMA fights.
Chueko doesn’t move away from Messi and his family in his personal life either. He reportedly has as many as 50 associates who take care of his family members. The footballer is then looked after by Yassine himself.
But these do not seem to be his only qualities. In fact, in yesterday’s MSL match against Nashville SC, the cameras recorded that he was present even when Messi needed him on the pitch. In fact, he rushed a pass to the Argentine in stoppage time so that Inter could launch another offensive without losing precious time.
Although Messi was one of the best men on the pitch, he failed to contribute to his team’s goal for the first time in a match for Inter and Inter only played out a goalless draw at home. Messi’s bodyguard, however, showed great spirit when it comes to football as well.
