Parents were always doubtful at the beginning, even expressly stating that there was something going on behind the scenes. However, as the program proceeded, they really witnessed and felt it, and they became sure that it was real. Every time after the program was broadcast, many parents would call and ask how to participate in the next one." In contrast to the overwhelming fast-food-like publicity that comes and goes fast out of expectation, "Football Dream" appears slow to warm up and figures in low key. "It is not until this year that we received a lot of concern and encouragement from within the industry. It is because we insist on doing our best that we receive such good public reputation."

Speaking of those overwhelming masterworks with greatest costs and efforts, the Executive Producer of "Football Dream" said that the program spared nothing in terms of investment on the production. However, instead of using high price to invite big stars or making hyped-up publicity campaigns, the program paid more emphasis on the making of the program itself, making the participants having a lifetime changing experience like going to Europe to train and learn from the culture. In order to realize the teenager's football dream and make the dream happen, the program team worked with the coaches of the foreign football clubs to hold mega selections in five different cities, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, and Hong Kong. They also attended a high-intensity training camp in Shaolin Temple. The shortlisted winners will then be arranged to receive professional training at the Football Club Inter Milan in Italy and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in the United Kingdom. The sincerity involved is truly obvious. According to someone in the industry who previewed the program, he concluded that the production level of the program really stands out among programs and reveals its truth through the life of ordinary people.

If we say that the market for reality shows is blooming at present, then, "Football Dream" is the most glittering and spectacular flower among them. Will the dream, the true feelings and the emotion touch you and move you? Please tune in and see how it will bloom on GDTV from August 6 onwards, every Thursday and Saturday at 18:00.
