Yassie Cheko and his colleagues in Messi’s bodyguard team were awarded the “Best MLS Security Team” award.
On Instagram with 296,000 followers, Yassene Cheυko expressed gratitude to Inter Miami Club and Messi for creating the best summaries for him to fulfill his mission. Since joining Miami last summer, the Argentine player has been armed with a few secrets.
That shows the work efficiency of the bodyguard team, of which Yassine Cheko is a key member. “The award of the best security team in MLS is recognition for their work, thank you to the club, thank you to Messi and his family,” Yassyne Cheυko wrote on his personal page.
The security force that David Beckham hired has a total of 50 people with the task of protecting Messi and his family. Yassie Cheko is Messi’s most trusted bodyguard, always attached to the 36-year-old superstar like a shadow. Cheko’s mission is to protect Messi both on and off the field, including within the borders of the United States. The former MMA fighter has the responsibility to protect his student when Messi joins the Argentina team.
Yassie Cheko has prepared a special situation to protect Messi. There were a few times when Cheko had to promptly stop aggressive fans from approaching Argentine players. It is known that Inter Miami must pay Cheko an early salary of 4 million USD/year.
Possessing a toned body, Yassene Cheko also has diverse fighting skills. Messi’s bodyguard has a black belt in Taekwondo, is good at boxing and has competed in MMA professionally. Therefore, Cheko still practices mixed martial arts every day as her favorite sport.
There is a lot of information about the military background of Yassone Cheυko, to be precise, a former special forces soldier of the United States Navy. However, Cheko himself once agreed with this. Meanwhile, some American veterans believe they have grounds to agree that Cheko was never a soldier.
Christophe Freisebruch, a former SEAL, posted a LinkedIn article about Cheko’s wallpaper. “If you are declared a SEAL veteran, your record will definitely be kept in the system. But the reality is that there is someone like Yassie Cheυko. The media is mistaken or this is simply a scam,” Freisebrsch, who currently heads a military medical technology company, affirmed.
It doesn’t really matter whether Cheυko is a soldier or a soldier, what’s important is that Messi must be guaranteed maximum safety when he has a muscular bodyguard by his side. Currently, Messi and his family have returned to Argentina to enjoy the Christmas vacation. Therefore, Yassone Cheko is also having rare free time for himself.
It wasn’t until January of next year that Messi returned to the field with Inter Miami. David Beckham’s team will have matches against El Salvador on January 19 and Ho Chi Minh on February 4, 2024.
