Cech: Last Season Was Disappointing <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With considerable understatement, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech admitted that last season could have gone better for his side, who ended with neither the Premier League nor Champions League to their names. Now he wants to banish those memories... The goalkeeper, still just 26, stated that silverware had to be the priority after the near-misses of 2007-08. "We always want to be better than the previous season. Everyone said we didn't have such a great season because we always finished runners up, but we were in the Final of the Champions League, and we were pushing Man United all the way to the end of the league," he said to ChelseaFC.com. "So in terms of success this was not what we wanted, but we know we can improve and this group is very strong to get back to the top places. Trophies are the main target and no matter which one it is, we want everything." With Cech having signed on until 2013, he's been to working alongside new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari in the quest for success. "Mr Scolari has only been here a few weeks, but you can feel he is a professional and knows how he wants to play," he enthused. "He has a great charisma and we all like the atmosphere in training and in the team. At the moment everything is going well but we need to see in the season because that is most important." Everybody Loves A Little Competition For Cech the new campaign could be closer than ever thanks to the input of dark horse sides who have spent big this summer. "If you see in the transfer market it is amazing because great players are coming to almost every team," he said. "Portsmouth will be very strong, I think Newcastle will have a much better season and with Martin O'Neill you can never write off Aston Villa. 'Everton are always around the top five and I think those teams will push harder this season. Manchester City bought some new players and a new manager, so they have quality and it will be an exciting season for everyone. 'I don't think it will be divided between the 'big four' and the rest straight away, I think it will be closer than ever."</div>
