Major League Soccer has now decided to take full control of matchday security and Cheuko will only be permitted in the locker room and mixed zones.
"They don't allow me to be on the field anymore," the bodyguard told Spanish media.
"I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. I came to the USA and in just 20 months, 16 people have already done so. There's a huge problem here; let me help, Messi."
