Lionel Messi (39, Inter Miami) is also being criticized as a dedicated bodyguard is being fixed by a fan who broke in.
The U.S. "Athlon Sports" questioned on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), "Why was Messi's bodyguard absent even though a dangerous fan stormed?"
Inter Miami played a friendly match against Ecuador's champion Indépendiente del Baye at Juan Ramon Lubriel Stadium in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, on the 27th.
At the end of the game, Messi collided with a male fan who stormed the stadium. The fan quickly came to the center line of the stadium from the stands and hugged Messi. The security guard, who rushed to stop this, fell down with Messi in the process of knocking over the fan.
Security personnel responded urgently as two other fans in Barcelona and Miami uniforms stormed and demanded selfies and autographs.
Fortunately, neither Messi nor fans were seriously injured. Messi, who got up straight from his seat, played the rest of the game without difficulty.
The media explained, "Fans have approached Messi in the past, but many soccer fans are questioning the security of the stadium and the absence of Yasin Chueko, a dedicated bodyguard, as Messi was caught falling together in a security guard's tackle this time."
After Messi joined Inter Miami, Chueko, a former Navy SEAL, closely guarded him like a shadow inside and outside the stadium, drawing attention for his strong professional spirit.
The media analyzed the reason why Chueko did not appear on the sideline of the Puerto Rico away stadium in connection with the aftermath of the past disciplinary action. "Chueko was banned from entering the sideline of MLS games last year due to a physical fight during the League Cup," he said. "Fans are surprised that he was not in the MLS regular league."
"There is no reliable report that Chueko is no longer in charge of Messi's security, such as being fired," he said, "but there is a possibility that he may no longer be in charge of security during the game." This may be why he did not accompany Puerto Rico," he explained.
Meanwhile, Messi, who stepped on the ground through a half-time substitution, scored the winning goal of the penalty kick in the 25th minute of the second half to lead his team to a 2-1 victory.
Originally, the game was scheduled to be held on the 14th, but it was postponed in the aftermath of Messi's injury.
