There was an interview with him recently, regarding his call-up. He said that he'd been promised to be brought on as a sub at half-time. I guess it's that which he is upset about?
Cheers,perhaps that promise was part of the 'deal' that saw him choose to represent Kosovo,rather than Norway.
There was no deal. Actually, there was a deal, but it's not the one you're thinking of. There was a deal struck by FIFA which says that Kosovan players, because Kosovo is not an actual member of FIFA, do not have to declare for Kosovo permanently to play for them. Celina could play in every Kosovo match for ten years straight and still get picked for Norway afterwards. Until Kosovo gets made a permanent member of FIFA - and that would require diplomatic recognition of the state by Serbia, and by extension Russia, which will not happen for a long time if ever - then this will always be how it is.
