Ok,but if you read carefully once again you can also take this part:
"I have to talk to the leaders to clarify a few things" + "understand if I have to have the strength to move forward "
can be understood as:
I need to check with the board if i will be able to get reinforcements i need to go forward.
Also,immediately after he's asked about reassurments so it makes sense that that is actually what he meant !
And he knows we need few good moves on the market because it's true nothing can be done better in the league.only in the CL
