One fan said: "He was about to do the 'siuuuuu' celebration but then remembered he might get fired within hours."
Another commented: "He nearly celebrated 'siuuuuu' right in front of the boss but stopped at the last second, probably the fastest brake ever."
A third remarked: "Messi made him shine, and since then he’s played almost like Ronaldo at his prime."
A fourth praised: "That’s exactly the feeling when hitting a volley from 20 meters out."
Yassine Cheuko, who serves as Lionel Messi’s personal bodyguard, used to be a professional soldier. Since Messi joined Inter Miami, Cheuko has been inseparable from him, becoming a solid support for the Argentine superstar in both triumphant and challenging moments. He is now considered a close part of Messi’s family.
