"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."
