Djibril Cisse believes he can force his way back into the France national team following his move to QPR.
The Frenchman joined the R's from Italian club Lazio on deadline day and is looking to perform well enough to make Les Bleus manager Laurent Blanc sit up and take notice ahead of this summer's European Championships.
He is also planning to get the West Londoners out of their current rut.
"I was not very often in the Lazio team anymore. This season so far, I assisted eight times, but it hurt me to not score anymore.
"2012 Euro? Indeed I left notably for that," added Cisse. "But I was not happy anymore in Rome.
"I sulked on and out of the pitch. I was in a filthy mood. Football is my life and I absolutely need to be on the pitch.
"QPR being in 16th ranking? Wherever I play, the most important for Euro 2012 is what I will achieve on the pitch.
"If I am good and score 10 or 12 goals before the end of the season, it could make people think about.""It was the chance for me to join back Premier League. I seized the opportunity," Cisse told L'Equipe.
