Former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira believes he is still a long way from being 'past his best', and the Inter Milan midfielder believes he can still do a job on the international scene for France.
"In France I get the impression that once a player reaches 30 we put them out to pasture, so to speak," he told L'Equipe.
"I know I'm capable of playing at a high level for more years. I know I can do it and I will.
"If I take all the chances that come my way I know I'll have no problem getting back my level and getting back into the France side. I'm motivated and determined.
"I know how determined I am to still play at the top level. I also know what I have to do to get there. The only way is to work. I'm not a shirker, I'm a worker.
"Although I don't want to do too much too soon, in the back of my mind I'm thinking about the France-Romania game (October 11)."
