Zac Djellab claims the Reading link his guest leaves behind

A football connections quiz draws an unusually fast audience, while viewers suggest club links the players could have used.

Can you connect the footballers by their clubs?! 😅 #football #premierleague #footballtrivia #bayern

"I'm fuming, I've just given him the bloody answer," says Zac Djellab's quiz opponent. Thinking aloud has proved costly.

The pair are connecting footballers on a grid through clubs they have played for. The guest suspects a Reading connection involving Michael Olise and Emi Martínez, but hesitates and chooses Atlético Madrid players instead. Zac promptly takes Olise, Nathan Aké and Martínez for Reading.

That little trap is part of a Short that has drawn nearly 50,000 views in twelve hours, already well beyond the roughly 8,000 Zac's Shorts usually receive across a full first day.

The game rewards remembering the less obvious stops in a player's career, not just the shirt they are best known for. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Wolves all supply connections before the Reading opportunity arrives. After taking it, Zac jokingly offers his opponent Cesc Fàbregas for Barcelona as a freebie.

Viewers are playing along in the comments, proposing Tottenham and Manchester City groupings and pointing out Harry Kane and Teemu Pukki's Norwich City connection. The grid leaves room for more than one route through football history.

A separate Short asking whether the best player always wins the Ballon d'Or is also drawing a faster-than-usual audience. Here, though, the decisive football knowledge is knowing when to keep a clue to yourself.
