Yassine Cheuko is not allowed to enter the pitch in the US, which could create all sorts of problems for the world's best player
Lionel Messi's bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, claims that the rules of the Major League Soccer (MLS) prevent him from protecting his client on the pitch.
Talking to 'House of Highlights', Cheuko revealed that in the MLS, he's not allowed on the pitch to protect the Inter Miami star.
"There's a huge problem here. I'm not the problem. Let me help Leo... I love MLS and CONCACAF, but we have to work together. I love helping. I'm not better than anyone else, but I have experience from Europe."

Messi's bodyguard said in the interview that in seven years in Europe, he's only experienced six pitch invasions, while in the United States, he's experienced 16 in 20 months:
"I was in Europe working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League for seven years, and only six people entered the pitch. I arrived in the United States, and in the 20 months I've been here, 16 people have entered."
In the meantime, Chueko challenged WWE fighter and influencer Logan Paul to a boxing match, thus settling the feud between Paul's and Messi's companies.
In an Instagram post, Chueko said: "Listen Logan, I am doing this video because a lot of people stop me on the street. I get a lot of comments about this fight. Now, the reverse is broken, there is no way out. Let's do the fight for the people. Let's do it."
