I admit it's possibly more a problem from PSG management than from him, as he is far to be the only one affected (Jeremy Menez look even lazier when the team doesn't have the ball, and Nene was like that too in his last year before leaving). It's a club of stars in an under average league and their over confidence may make some players reduce their effort.
But in the case of Pastore, the mystery is why he failed to show more since he was sidelined. He regularily get chances as sub or when someone is injured but just looks more and more disinterested.
Even his offensive stats are no longer good this season, in 15 appearances including 4 starts (and most enters as a sub around the hour, not with 5mn to play) he failed to get one goal or assist.
