Reiten: Intense Bompastor demanding the best at Chelsea - Soccer News
Briefly

Guro Reiten scored 10 goals in 22 domestic matches as Chelsea completed a Women's Super League, FA Cup and League Cup treble. Chelsea went unbeaten in the 22-game WSL season, the first side to do so in that format, joining previous unbeaten campaigns by Chelsea (2018), Arsenal (2012) and Manchester City (2016). Sonia Bompastor replaced Emma Hayes ahead of the 2024-25 season and implemented more possession-oriented tactics while demanding high daily standards. Reiten credited Bompastor's intensity and competitive mentality with preparing the squad for big moments. Chelsea were favourites domestically but lost to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final.
"Loud and clear, but, no she's intense," Reiten told Stats Perform when asked about Bompastor's management style. "She's been a footballer herself and she just wants to help us be better, help us grow and make sure that we are ready for the big moments, so yeah, she demands a lot, every single day. "You know to come in and to win the treble is absolutely amazing.
The 31-year-old scored 10 goals in 22 matches in domestic competitions last season as Chelsea completed a Women's Super League, FA Cup and League Cup treble. Bompastor's side were also unbeaten in the league, becoming the first WSL side to do so in the current format of a 22-game season. The Blues previously went undefeated in the league in 2018, while Arsenal and Manchester City did so in 2012 and 2016 respectively.
