Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko stated he has been banned from defending the Argentine ahead from the touchline throughout Inter Miami matches.
Cheuko gained widespread recognition after social media movies confirmed him intently watching the group to cease potential pitch invaders from harming the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.
“They don’t allow me to be on the field anymore,” the bodyguard was quoted as saying by Spanish media.
“I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. I came to the USA and in just 20 months 16 people have already done so. There’s a huge problem here, let me help Messi.”
Main League Soccer stated on Tuesday that its protocols relating to workforce safety guards had not modified, and a number of sides had designated workforce safety guards who’re stationed close to workforce benches on the sector.
Inter Miami have been contacted for remark.
