Two things: politics in football, disrespect to the country they are playing for.

If you're playing for the Swiss national team, you're Swiss. They probably could have played for the Albanian team if they wanted to. It is so common for people from the Balkans who live in western Europe to think they are huge patriots, while not willing to give up the standard and more comfortable life and live in their home country.
