Yassine Cheuko the personal bodyguard of football star, Inter Miami’s Captain Lionel Messi has heaped praise on the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner.

The Algerian martial artist said that Messi does not consider him as his bodyguard but rather family.

According to Yassine, the two talk and laugh together. They share a lot of memories together. Yassine also revealed that the Argentine even always invites him to his house for lunch.

“Messi does not consider me only his bodyguard, but also a friend. We talk, laugh, and get to know our personalities together. He always invites me to lunch and treats me well.”

He recalled one moment when he was on the plane with the former Barcelona player. This was on their way from Paris where Messi had won his eighth Golden Ball.

The 2022 World Cup winner asked Yassine to carry his Ballon D’or and the Algerian thought that he was being asked to place it somewhere.

However, Lionel Messi told him to feel it and then told his bodyguard’s wife and son how Yassine had won the Ballon d’Or for the best bodyguard. They all laughed over it and it was a nice gesture from the greatest footballer of all time.

“When I carried it, he said to his son and wife: The winner of the Ballon d’Or for the best bodyguard is Yassine” It was a beautiful moment and words I will never forget from the best player in the world”.

According to Yassine, this has made him feel like a part of the Messi family. And he not only tries to protect him from the physical side but also the psychological side.

Besides, Messi trusts and depends a lot on him. According to Yassine, Messi is both great and humble for his superstar status.
