Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner footballing legend Lionel Messi's personal bodyguard appeared frustrated after getting informed that he won't be allowed to protect the star striker from the sidelines during Miami's matches.

The bodyguard named Cheuko garnered lots of recognition from his viral social media videos where he guarded Messi from pitch invaders who could potentially harm him during his matches.

Messi's bodyguard expressed his frustration 

The bodyguard expressed his frustration and let everyone know the adeptness of his work, revealing that as many as six people invaded the pitch during his 7-year stint in Europe.

He later added how MLS was 'unsafe' in comparison to Europe, where he had faced an increased number of pitch invaders, as many as 16 in just over a year.

"They don't allow me to be on the field anymore," the bodyguard said in an interview.

"I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch." He added.

"I came to the USA and in just 20 months, 16 people have already done so. There's a huge problem here. I'm not the problem. Let me help Messi." He explained.

As per the sources, an Inter Miami spokesman informed the media about this decision. It was revealed that the decision of Cheuko's exclusion from the sidelines was made by the club and not by the Major Soccer League. Yassine Cheuko would still be an employee of Inter Miami and part of the security team.

Major League Soccer stated earlier on Tuesday that its protocols regarding team security guards have not changed. It noted that multiple teams have designated security personnel who are stationed near the team benches on the field.
