With coach Carlo Ancelotti using a 4-3-1-2 formation, commonly known as the diamond, Malouda found himself playing a bit-part role this season.
"Before the match against Birmingham, I talked to the coach. I told him about my frustration," he told L'Equipe on Saturday.
"I believe I have succeeded in my start to the season, but during the key matches against Arsenal or Man Utd, I was on the bench.
"I have ambitions for the World Cup, and considering my status in the French team it is a little annoying (being on the bench).
"If there is no place for me in that system, I could go somewhere else."
The 29-year-old joined Chelsea in the summer of 2007 from French side Olympique Lyon.
