Asmir Begovic<\/a> believes his club have achieved an “unbelievable amount” this season and has revealed that the top priority in 2011-12 is to force their way into the top half of the Premier League.<\/p>\nThe Potters fluffed their lines by losing to Wigan on the final day of the 2011 campaign, when just a point would have seen them finish in the top 10, but Begovic believes that disappointment will drive the team on in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a big goal of ours to finish in the top 10, so obviously after the game it was initial disappointment,\u201d the Bosnian international told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the guys were desperate to go out there and sign the season off with a win, but it wasn’t our day.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was disappointing, but when you take a step back and look at the season we have accomplished an unbelievable amount.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stoke became the last of the founder members of the Football League to reach the FA Cup final in 2011, and Begovic admits the day out at Wembley was “absolutely fantastic” for the Potters.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo reach an FA Cup Final was absolutely fantastic for the club, and to stay up was also good achievement for us, especially considering that this was arguably the toughest Premier League for a long, long time,\u201d said the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the season went extremely well, both personally for me and as a team also.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s been a very enjoyable season to play in. It was my first real full season, so it was a little tiring, but I have loved every minute of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will enjoy this break now, re-energise myself and then start preparing myself for the new season. I want to get better and better, so it is important to make sure I keep doing the right things, keep learning and keep listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
