Former Hearts defender Christophe Berra has praised head coach Wouter Vrancken's attacking philosophy at Tynecastle. Despite heading into the international break following a defeat to Falkirk and a draw against Kilmarnock, Hearts remain third in the Scottish Premiership and secured a league phase spot in the Conference League.
