Calvin Verdonk
immediately took on big responsibilities in his first season with Lille.Not only in Ligue 1, the role of ‘Carryman’ is also carried out in the 2025/2026 Europa League.
Calvin Verdonk officially joined Lille on September 2 or the end of the 2025 summer transfer market. Coming at the last moment forced the 28-year-old defender to adapt quickly because the competition was already rolling.
Not to mention the competition in the first team.Apart from Verdonk, Romain Peraud has just arrived from Real Betis.They are also both 28 years old or the mature age in the world of football.

Fortunately, Lille coach Bruno Genesio was able to regulate the rhythm and playing minutes for the two new recruits.Romain Peraud is more often a regular in Ligue 1, while Verdonk is relied on in the 2025/2026 Europa League.
Verdonk always started the first three matches of the 2025/2026 Europa League and almost always played the full game.Only one match against Roma, Verdonk was replaced in the 69th minute.
Meanwhile in Ligue 1, Verdonk played four of the 11 matches that Les Dogues played.The former NEC Nijmegen player played two matches as a starter.
Coaches certainly have their own reasons when they tend to rely on Verdonk in the Europa League.Looking at the Fotmob statistics, there are interesting things that could be used as a basis.
Verdonk was recorded as being more dominant in defensive matters with a contribution reaching 89 percent.Meanwhile, Perraud only has 35 percent.
On the other hand, Perraud dominated the attack contribution that led to the goal.Even though they both play as left backs, Perraud recorded two goals and one assist in nine appearances in Ligue 1 this season.
Meanwhile, Verdonk has only made one assist in three matches in the Europa League.It’s not his main job to help attack.Statistics also prove that the 174 cm player tends to be defensive when on the field.
Even though he tends to defend, in terms of consistency Verdonk is superior.Still based on Fotmob’s records, the former Feyenoord player almost always gets a score above 7. Only once did Verdonk get a score below that, to be precise 6.9 when he faced PAOK in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Perraud is more volatile.It is true that there are two matches with a score above 8 out of the total of 10 matches played.But Perraud won three matches with a score of around 6.

Flying time management is the prerogative of a coach in the team, unless there is a contract clause that requires a player to appear for certain minutes.But of course, what needs to be paid attention to is the consistency of the player himself.
So far, Verdonk has been able to answer the coach’s trust with a promising performance.Even though the French League is new for the player born in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
Verdonk also spent more of his career in the Netherlands.Apart from France, Portugal is the only country he has stepped into on his professional journey.
Verdonk’s adaptability is worthy of appreciation.Likewise, when defending the Indonesian National Team, he was able to achieve solid performances from 12 caps with the Garuda squad in various important events, especially the 2026 World Cup Qualifications.
Apart from his ability to adapt to new environments, Verdonk’s plus point is his ability to play in various positions.He has experienced central defender, left winger, left winger, even central midfielder.
At NEC Nijmegen, Verdonk was placed more advanced as a left wing striker.In the Indonesian national team he was a central defender and central midfielder.Wherever you are, Verdonk can do it.
It’s just a matter of time before the Verdonk will be placed in a place that is not its natural habitat.So far, Verdonk has always played as a left back at Lille.
Verdonk is the embodiment of the modern football player.Being an adaptive figure also opens up opportunities for him to maintain match minutes.
With maintained playing minutes, it is difficult for coaches to let him go.But of course, this is not an easy thing for a player to do.
Not to mention if at any time Lille’s coach changes.It is possible that significant changes will occur.But of the 22 coaches who have handled Verdonk, it seems that dynamics like that are not a big problem for him.
