AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong has dismissed talk of retirement.
The Dutchman feels he has plenty of years of playing ahead of him.
"This is not the time. I love football so much that I want to continue for as long as possible," he said.
"In Italy, many players can continue for a long time because they take care of themselves in the best way.
"At Milan, many players arrived at the club before me who have tread the fields until almost 40 years of age."
