Lionel Messi is already living his first month in Miami and with this he has already made indelible memories in the few games he has played. The Argentine player has been key to the resurgence of Inter Miami, who already won their first title after winning the Leagues Cup in mid-August. However, the footballer's comfort is also key to his great performance and for this reason, David Beckham has made a great decision in this regard.

 

Miami is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet, but there is no doubt that it never hurts to be careful, especially when you are a celebrity. Multiple cases of assault or robberies at home have happened in the United States and for this, David Beckham wants to ensure that the Argentine star is in the best possible way.

Leo's new bodyguard does not take off for a single second from the 'flea', even going so far as to enter the field of play. In fact, in the match against Philadelphia, when a fan invaded the field to take a 'selfie' with Messi, said security person intervened before stadium security arrived.

 

Is Messi's bodyguard a former Navy Seal?

The bodyguard has -according to the US media- a past in the Navy SEALS, armed forces of the United States and was assigned to Iraq and Afghanistan. David Beckham has been in charge of finding a person for Messi who is responsible enough to take care of him.
