A quite meaningful win for Leverkusen because they managed to maintain their best form to stay on the winning track. Union Berlin is certainly not a difficult opponent for leverkusen because these two team have had quite different rallies this season where Leverkusen is at the top of the standings and Union Berlin is at the bottom of the standing. 4-0 is quite an ideal score considering that in this match Union was completely unable to threaten Leverkusen goal, Even from their play in this match of course Leverkusen did not provide space for Union Berlin to score.
Leverkusen possible target of winning a trophy this season was not their initial plan, but the match after match they have played makes us assume that Leverkusen will be a team competent enough to win the trophy this season. Bremen and Dortmund will be their opponents in the upcoming match and perhaps Xabi Alonso hard efforts to maximize his chances of getting 3 points will be tried to be stopped by these two team.
Xabi Alonso is really serious about competing with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season, he's really trying to make sure his players remain in good shape and try maintainimg their winning streak every week,Union Berlin might be at the bottom of the league but sometimes most of these underperforming teams can't be so tough and take a strong team by suprise if they underestimate them, however Leverkusen did a good job by maintaining their position with a 4-0 victory, they're getting stronger every week which is very necessary if they really want to win the league trophy.
So far they've been very impressive and they have to maintain consistency cause if Bayern Munich gets ahead of them it might seem difficult for Leverkusen to get ahead of them again, in their upcoming matches I think Werder Bremen might not be a challenge but the main challenge they'll face is from Dortmund which is another big team in the Bundesliga.
There are lots of important games waiting for Leverkusen after the small break. Every time we have these breaks I hope that it doesn't do any harm to a team like Leverkusen as they are in such a great condition. They are playing against Dortmund and Stuttgart before the winter break and I hope they don't fail in those games. I wouldn't mind if it's Dortmund or Stuttgart to compete with Bayern, but from all those teams Leverkusen is really by far looking to be the strongest and most consistent. Dortmund is weird. They get celebrated one week just to play bullshit the next week.
