A photograph circulating on social media has sparked curiosity and surprise over the alarmed reaction of Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Lionel Messi, towards the imposing security guard, Yassine Cheuko. Yassine Cheuko, the burly bodyguard of Argentine star Lionel Messi, has a background as a former special forces soldier in the U.S. military. Yassine has participated in several special campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan during his military service. Additionally, Yassine is a combat expert, particularly in mixed martial arts, which he has trained in extensively.
This background has equipped Yassine with remarkable courage and lightning-fast reflexes. Since Messi’s move to Inter Miami last summer, Yassine and his team of up to 50 security guards have taken turns protecting Messi, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, and their three children, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. “A strong man is not one who is skilled in combat, but one who can control himself when angered,” Yassine shared on Instagram regarding his character.
Yassine’s name is now being mentioned more frequently due to a photograph circulating on social media depicting Antonela Roccuzzo’s reaction to this imposing bodyguard. Specifically, the image captures Yassine approaching the VIP area where Antonela was seated to watch a recent match between Inter Miami and Orlando City. Pointing towards Antonela and saying something, Yassine’s actions left Lionel Messi’s wife visibly worried and alarmed.
“What did Yassine say?” is the question on many people’s minds. Some speculate that Antonela’s attentive and concerned expression suggests there may be a security-related issue concerning the Messi family.
