'No people want to kill him' - Cristiano Ronaldo's former bodyguard reveals what it is like to work for 'generous' Portuguese GOAT

UEFA Nations League A

Portugal

Spain

<p>Given his celebrity status around the world, CR7 has been left with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-new-security-team-family-threats-intimidating-aggressive-bodyguard-protect-cr7-georgina-rodriguez/blt4ff34720c83bcba8" target="_blank">no choice but to bring in his own security team</a>. Eternal rival Lionel Messi has done likewise at MLS side Inter Miami, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lionel-messi-bodyguard-yassine-cheuko-responds-bare-knuckle-fight-claim-wwe-superstar-logan-paul/blt18c892a551e93aba" target="_blank">former Navy SEAL Yassine Cheuko working his corner</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Hichman worked as Ronaldo’s bodyguard for four years, helping to ensure the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pitch-invader-ran-towards-cristiano-ronaldo-like-lover-would-do-it-100000-times-again-night-scottish-cells/bltfe7253134c7d20dd" target="_blank">never put in any danger by adoring fans</a>. He claims that his toughest opponents were members of the paparazzi.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Discussing life alongside one of the most famous people on the planet, Hichman told the Telecinco programme <a href="https://x.com/tardeartv/status/1930282818686324775 " target="_blank"><em>Tardear</em></a>: "He's the best boss I've ever had. People don't know him, but he's a very good person. Cris is a great person, generous, that's not how people say he is. He's always treated us well.</p><p>"When you're going to provide protection services to someone like this, you have to bear in mind that your life will be on that person's back, you might have to give your life for the person you work for, you have to accept the risks.</p><p>"There are no people who want to kill him or there are no death threats. I've only had a few anecdotal situations, complications with the paparazzi, who hate me because I'm the bad guy."</p>

WHAT FORMER BODYGUARD SAID

<p><span></span>Hichman was charged with making life difficult for photographers by keeping Ronaldo out of the public eye as much as possible. It can be dangerous when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/watch-cristiano-ronaldo-mobbed-madrid-8million-bugatti-centodieci-dinner-georgina-rodriguez/bltae05e8f32a6b5fc3" target="_blank">A-list superstars are followed everywhere they go</a> by camera crews.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>Ronaldo has been living a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ripped-cristiano-ronaldo-hits-home-gym-partner-georgina-rodriguez-skimpy-shorts-no-top/blt84077d3933d986ac" target="_blank">relatively quiet life in Saudi Arabia alongside partner Georgina Rodriguez</a> and their children.
