I can't motivate my players

It may be due to your reputation level.

It is like prison: pick the toughest player on the team and beat the living tar out of him in front of the rest of the players and everyone else will fall in line.

Seriously though, I find it hard to motivate them before the game but afterwards they all get motivated easily. Not sure being motivated after the game is helpful unless it carries over into practice.

This can be really tough. Pre match I find it hit and miss but I’ve recently started choosing to also praise defence, midfield and attack separately and telling them individually “I have faith in you” which seems to works well.

At half time if I’m losing or drawing I go with the top option - the most angry one. If I’m winning by only one goal I go for the second from top - so still angry but not the worst.

If I’m 2-0 up or more I say the one like “you’ve had lots of shots on target, keep it up” and that makes everyone happy normally.

Hope that helps!
