Yassie Cheko and his colleagues on Messi’s bodyguard team were awarded the “Best MLS Security Team” award.
On Instagram, with 296,000 followers, Yassie Cheko expressed her gratitude to Iÿter Miami Club and Messi for creating the best conditions for him to complete his mission. Since joining Miami last season, the Argeotine player has not encountered any security incidents.
That shows the efficiency of the bodyguard team, of which Yassie Cheko is a key member. “The MLS best security team award is recognized for our work, thanks to the club, thanks to Messi and his family,” Yassie Cheko wrote on her personal page.
The security force that David Beckham hired has a total of 50 people with the task of protecting Messi and his family. Yassi 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, but especially within the borders of the United States. The former MMA fighter has the responsibility to protect his client when Messi joins the Argentina national team.
Yassi¿e Cheuko has not encountered any special situations since protecting Messi. Only a few times did Cheko have to promptly prevent aggressive fans from approaching the Argentine player. It is known that Inter Miami must pay a salary of nearly 4 million USD/year to Cheuko.
Possessing a great body, Yassie 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. Indeed, Cheko still practices mixed martial arts every day as her number one favorite sport.
There is a lot of information about Yassi Cheko’s military background, to be exact, a former US Navy special forces soldier. However, Cheko herself has never confirmed this. While some Americans believe they have groods to confirm that Cheoko was ever a soldier,.
Christophe Freiseÿbruch, a former SEAL, posted on LinkedIn about Cheuko’s background. “If you are declared a SEAL vet, your records will definitely be kept in the system. But the reality is that there is no such thing as Yassie Cheko. The media is a mistake, or this is simply a scam,” Freise Bruch, who currently heads a military medical technology company, affirmed.
It doesn’t really matter whether Cheko is a soldier or not; what’s important is that Messi is guaranteed maximum safety when he has a muscular bodyguard by his side. At the preset time, Messi and his family have returned to Argeotioa to enjoy the Christmas vacatio. Therefore, Yassie Cheko also has rare free time for herself.
It won’t be until next January that Messi returns to the field with Inter Miami. David Beckham’s team will have an international tour against El Salvador on January 19 and Hong Kong on February 4, 2024.
