Bordeaux midfielder Yoann Gourcuff insists he could still have a future with parent club AC Milan.

"At Milan we didn't play the football that I was used to," Gourcuff said in an interview with France Football.

"The play was more fluid, a little slower and more reflective. Everyone occupied a specific area on the pitch and the technical quality was a lot higher than that seen in the French League."

Gourcuff, who has become the focal point of the France national team, then admitted that Milan and Andrea Pirlo schooled him well.

"Pirlo is fantastic, I learned a lot from him, as I did from Clarence Seedorf and Ricky Kaka," he enthused.
