Let's see if there's any truth behind this when looking deeper into the behavioural research of "motivation" and applying it the unique world of professional football.

๐ In summary...
โ Is Marcus unmotivated? Probably (but not for the reasons you might naturally think)
โHow can Utd change this?
Well the self-determination theory suggests to:
๐๐ผ Give Marcus autonomy in his choices
๐๐ผ Allow him to develop and exercise his competence
๐๐ผ Help him to build good relationships with the team and fans
๐๐ผAllow him to feel part of the social environment

โ๏ธ What might all of this mean?
๐๐ผ The theory tells us that if we don't feel that psychological security
๐ค We can fight back by acting in a controlling manner, in order to assert a higher level of autonomy
Which can be destructive behaviour
(not suggesting he's doing that)
๐๐ผ The theory also tells us that we don't respond well to extrinsic motivators unless we feel confident in our relatedness and the feeling of being in a nurturing environment.
If we do have this level of confidence in our social environment, then imposed rules, don't rob us of our autonomy, instead we submit to them willingly
and in making that choice to submit to a social construct we feel a part of, we are exerting our autonomy.
๐ฟ But without this safe social environment, the rules will feel like they are controlling us, and in order to reassert our autonomy, we will rebel against them.

4-0 PSG
(Cavani โฝ๏ธ)
(Meunier ๐ ฐ๏ธ)
๐บ Meunier in his own half beats Neymar very easily.
๐บ Progresses with the ball into midfield and into the Barca half unchallenged.
๐บ Acres of time and space for Meunier to pick a pass. He obliges.
๐บ Cavani makes a good run across Pique and smashes it low and hard beyond ter Stegen.

3-0 PSG
(Di Maria โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ)
(Kurzawa ๐ ฐ๏ธ)
๐บ Di Maria with another worldie.
๐บ The move starts again from Rabiot who takes the ball under pressure from the goal kick, turns, plays a pass.
๐บ Nice interchange out wide between Draxler, Matuidi and Kurzawa.
๐บ Ball comes to Di Maria who has acres of space to take a touch, feint, move towards goal and strike a perfect shot into the top left on his favoured left too. Too easy.
๐บ Run forward from Meunier is brilliant as it gives Alba something to think about and he vacates the space for Di Maria to get his shot away easily.
