Legendary football star Lionel Messi (36) plays for Inter Miami team in the USA this season. All possibilities have been mobilized for Messi, who has made the club known worldwide, of which former English national football player David Beckham (48) is a partner.
Beckham hired the most professional bodyguard for Messi. The bodyguard, named Yassine Chueko, became famous when he entered the field last week and caught and neutralized the supporter who was running towards Messi within seconds.
Chueko is a former cage fighter who has fought in the US Navy in Afghanistan and Iraq. He follows Messi like a shadow, not only on the field but wherever he goes.
HE ALSO PROTECTS THE FAMILY
He builds a wall of flesh around himself every moment, including in his private life, when he goes out on the field when he returns to the dressing room, and when he gets on the team bus. The social media page of Chueko, who is charismatic, was flooded with followers. The number of followers increased to 205 thousand overnight. Chueko is responsible for the safety of not only Messi but also his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their children Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. He is also the head of the team that protects the family. Chueko, who earns 250 thousand dollars a month, has an annual salary of 3 million dollars. Messi, who scores goals in every match he plays and causes match tickets to go up to 3 thousand dollars, also ensures that world stars come to the stands every week.
Messi transferred to Inter Miami for $60 million a year.
WHO IS YASSINE CHUEKO THAT DAVID BECKHAM PERSONALLY CHOOSE?
The news of Lionel Messi's transfer to Inter Miami came shaking the football world. As the Argentine magician embarked on his MLS journey, he promised new beginnings and competitive matches. While Messi's footwork and goals continued to shine in the center of the stage, another name managed to attract attention.
While Chueko is not a football player, he is probably just as important a figure in Messi's new journey. Chueko, a former US soldier serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, was handpicked by David Beckham and enlisted as Messi's personal bodyguard, the Daily Mail reports. This choice was not a random decision, but a carefully made one.
Yassine Chueko is no ordinary bodyguard. With not only his MMA background but also his expertise in various martial arts disciplines such as taekwondo and boxing, he creates the optimal shield for a superstar like Messi. The increase in the number of fans entering the field in recent years, combined with the great excitement about Messi's transition to the USA, has made this security decision mandatory for the arrival of the star football player.
An example of Chueko's dedication to his mission went viral during Inter Miami's game against Cincinnati. As Messi celebrated his last-minute equalizing goal, Chueko was seen rushing to the side of the field to oversee the celebrations.
Outside the boundaries of the pitch, under Chueko's watch, Messi is safe anytime and anywhere. Despite ensuring Messi's safe passage from the team bus to the locker rooms, Chueko, an unwavering presence waiting for Messi to appear at the entrance of the club bus, is present in any situation.
WHO IS LIONEL MESSI?
Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi is a football player born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. He is one of the top players among the players who are still actively on the field. At the age of only 21, he made a breakthrough by winning awards such as the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year. His skills and style of play have often been compared and compared to the legendary Argentinean football player Diego Maradona. Maradona has described Messi as his "successor".
