On January 6, China time, Jiangsu's erstwhile foreign aid player, Teixeira, now 32 years old, celebrated another career high as his Turkish Super League team, Besiktas, beat their rivals in a Super Cup thriller to win the trophy.
What's even more delightful is that this happy news happened on Teixeira's birthday, and the AFC Champions League officials duly released their wishes to send the footballer the sincerest happy birthday.
Dating back to the beginning of 2016, Teixeira left Brazil to join Jiangsu Suning and joined hands with the team to win the Chinese Super League title in the 2020 season. And in August last year, Teixeira moved to Besiktas on a free transfer. In the rumors of his farewell to the Chinese Super League, he was speculated to be a possible naturalization target for the national football team, but this naturalization plan eventually failed to come true, and Teixeira went to Turkey to continue his soccer career.
