Great minds think alike, my friend
If previously your definition of 'class' is ment for attitude, then I agree. But interms of footballing, I simply cannot say Palladino is better than Ibra will ever be.
I dispise his attitude and yes it is like heaven and hell if compared to Del Pie. I just hope that Palladino will eventually out class him on the field, but certainly for now, Ibra is much better on the pitch regardless of his attitude.
About the height thing, being tall isn't everything u know, and if Del Pie were tall he might not play like he does now, that is why Ibra is rated very highly by many coaches; he is blessed with physical strength and technique.
