When you think of Lionel Messi making waves in the U.S., your mind likely conjures images of the soccer prodigy leading Inter Miami to glories. Within a month of his arrival, Messi guided the team to its first silverware and a coveted spot in the U.S. Open semifinals after a triumphant victory against Cincinnati. But it isn’t just Messi's football finesse that’s got everyone talking.
During one such victory celebration, a vigilant figure was seen sprinting alongside the field, keeping a keen eye out for potential threats to the star player. That's Yassine Chueko, Messi’s bodyguard, leaping into the limelight. A former U.S. Army soldier who's seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Navy Seals, Chueko isn’t a solitary sentinel. He leads a dedicated team of 50, ensuring that Messi can revel in Miami’s embrace without a hitch. It's reported that David Beckham, Inter Miami's co-owner, recommended Chueko for the job.
So, who exactly is this watchful protector? Dive into social media, and you'll find Chueko not just showcasing his protection skills but also flexing his Mixed Martial Arts prowess. With over 129,000 followers, including Messi and Sergio Ramos, he's no stranger to the spotlight. His last post? An impressive display of kickboxing in the scenic locales of Bali, Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Messi continues to resonate with Miami, particularly its vibrant Latino community. “The Latinos are much closer, always showing affection,” he commented in a recent interview, emphasizing the warmth and camaraderie he feels in the city.
As Messi dazzles on the soccer field, fans and followers are left wondering: with Chueko by his side, what lengths will this bodyguard go to keep the soccer sensation safe?
