The Long And Short Of Malaysia's Draw With Cape Verde, According To Josue
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 (Bernama) -- Naturalised striker Paulo Josue has attributed Malaysia's 1-1 draw in the Tier 1 international friendly with Cape Verde last night to two factors: the long break before the match and the short training period. He said it was tough for them to regain match fitness after a month without any competitive matches since the 2024/2025 Malaysia League season ended in late April. To make matters worse, the Harimau Muda players only had 10 days of training before taking on world number 72 Cape Verde at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras last night. bootstrap slideshow 'I can say that it was very hard to play after 30 days without any games. We only trained for about 10 days (training camp) and then we had this tough match to play. But, thank God everything went okay,' he told reporters after the friendly. In last night's clash, Josue came on as a substitute to emerge as the team's hero by scoring Malaysia's equaliser in the 79th minute, cancelling out Cape Verde's opener by Sidny Lopes Cabral in the eighth minute. Despite fitness concerns, the 36-year-old Brazilian-born midfielder praised the team's effort and tactical discipline, which enabled them to contain Cape Verde's aggression. 'The team did very well. We managed to hold their aggressiveness and control the midfield. Playing five at the back, plus four in the middle, gave them some trouble in the first half. 'Then the tactical changes made by the coach in the second half created scoring opportunities. Overall, it was a great game for us to assess where we are at the moment,' he said. Malaysia will face Cape Verde a second time in a friendly played behind closed doors at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Tuesday (June 3).

Gisele Bündchen is 'grateful' after Tom Brady split and is celebrating her new life and baby with Joaquim Valente
Gisele Bündchen is relishing motherhood again, now with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente (Image via Instagram) Gisele Bündchen is embracing motherhood once again, and this time, with a new sense of gratitude and balance. In a recent Vogue France cover story, the supermodel gave fans a rare and heartfelt glimpse into her life with Joaquim Valente and their newborn son — her third child, and first with the jiu-jitsu instructor she's been romantically linked to since 2022. Gisele Bündchen says baby sleeps through the night as she regains control of her routine While many new moms struggle with sleepless nights, Gisele Bündchen revealed a parenting milestone that brought her some much-needed peace: 'Little one is sleeping through the night,' she said, beaming. That small victory has helped the 44-year-old regain a sense of structure. 'As any new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep — or lack of it — can change everything!' she added. After stepping back from work following the birth earlier this year, Gisele shared that she's now 'back in control of [her] routine' and feeling 'more comfortable in [her] own skin.' Embracing motherhood with all three children, including Tom Brady 's kids Beyond her infant son — whose middle name is reportedly River — Bündchen continues to cherish her role as a mother to Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, her children with ex-husband Tom Brady. 'Being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless,' she said, emphasizing how much joy she finds in everyday life. Whether it's spending time outdoors or simply being present, Bündchen added, 'Spending time with them is what makes me happiest.' The Brazilian-born model made her return to the spotlight this month with the Vogue France shoot, calling the experience a refreshing break from baby duties. 'Getting my hair and makeup done feels like I'm on vacation,' she joked. 'With a baby, the nights are so short that I've barely brushed my hair in the last few months!' Since her high-profile divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady in 2022, Bündchen has leaned into a quieter, more intentional life. She told fans earlier this month, 'I've been quiet over here but very busy living life. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived.' Also Read: Tom Brady says public jokes about Gisele Bündchen damaged his kids and left him shattered As she returns to modeling with renewed clarity and a growing family, it's clear that Gisele Bündchen is rewriting what fulfillment looks like — on her own terms.

Malaysia hold Cape Verde to draw
KUALA LUMPUR: This is a draw that Malaysia should feel happy with, nearly as good as a win. A "winning draw" if you can call this. And this draw in a Tier 1 international friendly should boost Malaysia's world football ranking. World No.151 Malaysia drew 1-1 with world No 72 Cape Verde. That is something to be proud of. On this day, Harimau Malaya looked the equal of the Blue Sharks, ranked 79 places above them in Fifa book. But Malaysia needed a Brazilian-born player to restore parity after the Africans had taken the lead in the ninth minute through Sidny Lopes Cabral. Paulo Josue came off the bench to score the equaliser in the 79th minute to the cheers of the 11,000-strong crowd at KLFA Stadium. Head coach Peter Cklamovski made four changes in the second half,
