&ldquo;I have to take this like some kind of message [from the manager],&rdquo; Kagawa told Japanese publication&nbsp;<em>The Hochi Simbun</em>. &ldquo;I need to improve more and more, or I cannot survive at this club. I have to take this in a positive way and keep trying to do my best.<br />

&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t involved that much [against West Brom] and I didn&rsquo;t touch the ball enough but I was trying to be patient, so I didn&rsquo;t feel that bad at half-time. I thought I would have been able to find some space to create the chances in the second half, so in that sense I was disappointed to have been substituted.&rdquo;<br />
