Wales captain Ryan Giggs has emphasised that he would be around for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers and reiterated that he would continue playing as long as he enjoys it.

33-year-old Manchester United star winger, who will lead his country into their home match against San Marino in Euro 2008 Group D qualifier tonight, said: "It did not even go through my head that I should step away from the situation now, not for one second.

"I've always said that I will be involved as long as I am enjoying it. And that means the 2010 World Cup campaign.

"I still enjoy the challenge of producing my form for Wales. As long as my fitness is good, I'm injury free, I will carry on."

Giggs also explained that there is nothing called “off and on” for a player, and that he has to perform all the time.

"As a player you cannot save yourself for a particular game, you cannot turn it off and on, you can't decide not to play well and say I'm saving myself for next week," he continued.

"You have got to try to play well all the time because that breeds confidence, anyone who knows the characters of the individuals concerned within the team, knows what was said is not right.
