At Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has personal security that travels everywhere with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Messi has been a revelation in Europe and will play against Nashville in the League Cup final on Sunday when he might win his 44th career title.
‘Messi-Mania’ is in full swing as everyone tries to acquire a piece of the Argentine, who has nine goals in his first six games and has scored nine goals overall for the 36-year-old.
Since Messi joined Inter, security precautions have had to be increased. The largest step was hiring a bodyguard who actually follows Messi everywhere he goes, albeit he wasn’t there when he was attacked in the Publix shop.
As seen in social media footage, a big, ominous man is attempting to perform Rodrigo De Paul’s duties when Messi represents Argentina in international competition.He is waiting to lead Messi into the stadium as soon as he exits the team bus. Additionally, the guard, who is dressed in Inter gear, makes sure that people don’t approach too closely while snapping pictures and asking for autographs.
In fact, he has been observed respectfully removing his hands from Messi’s shoulder when fans attempted to touch the legendary Barcelona player.
Messi frequently lurks outside as he warms up. The person is never far away, even when games are being played.
While Messi is showing off on the field, he takes up a position on the sidelines so that he can be there as soon as a pitch invader comes.
In one video at the conclusion of a game, the player scans like prime Xavi to make sure Messi is not in danger. In another, when a supporter throws an Argentina shirt for Messi to sign, he flings it to the ground.
We are quite curious about the nameless guard’s contracted hours and pay because he routinely enters the field after games.
