Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany held a press conference ahead of his own testimonial match on Wednesday.
The 33 years-old defender played 265 games with Manchester City since he arrived from Germany's Hamburger SV in 2008.
During his tenure at City, he won four Premier League and two FA Cups titles.
Kompany considered Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk the best center-back he ever faced in the Premier League.
The Belgium international, who currently acts as player-manager for R.S.C Anderletch, will miss the game due a hamstring injury.
The Belgium international considered his latest injury as 'irony'.
