Lionel Messi's bodyguard Yasin Chuko ensures his safety almost 24 hours a day. Yasin's 50-member team takes turns providing security to keep Messi's family safe.
But where Messi is most likely to suffer from insecurity, bodyguard Yasin has been banned from the field. Spanish sports daily Marca and football website Goal.com reported this information.
Yasin's ban on the field means that he will no longer be able to be on the sidelines during Inter Miami matches. This ban will also apply to Major League Soccer (MLS) and the CONCACAF Champions Cup. However, Yasin will be able to be with Messi in Inter Miami's dressing room and mixed zone.

However, Yasin will be able to stay next to Messi in the dressing room and mixed zone of Inter Miami.
However, Yasin has expressed dissatisfaction with the decision of the MLS authorities. He said, "I worked in Europe for seven years. I worked in the League One and Champions League there. During this time, only 6 people entered the field during the game. But in the United States (as Messi's bodyguard) I have been working for 20 months. In the meantime, 16 people have entered the field. This means there is a big problem here. But you think I am the problem. Let me help Messi."
With Yasin's ban, the MLS authorities have decided to provide maximum security to Messi on the field. Only time will tell how much they will be able to do that. Because, Messi's fans often enter the field by climbing the security fence to get a closer look at him. When bodyguard Yasin or other security guards reach Messi, some hug their favorite star and some even take selfies. Messi also fulfills the fans' requests with a smile.
