The former division 2 (San Andreu) and 3 attacking midfielder dismisses speculation of the advent of foreigners in the country as a detrimental factor in the development of soccer here.
Auckland City have the services of four Spaniards.
Tribulietx has lured from his country Angel Berlanga, Manel Exposito, Albert Riera and Ivan Diaz, who will make his debut tomorrow as an attacking midfielder.
The candid coach's reasoning is pretty simple. Its foundation stems from the primordial instincts of the animal kingdom.
"Auckland City is also about winning and bringing back trophies, so that's my job as a coach, too," Tribulietx says, satisfied with their premiership championship last summer.
He is mindful a victory tomorrow will secure them the minor premiership bragging rights, while the Bay need at least a point to keep their hopes alive for a maiden play-off berth in the eight-year history of the competition.
The best way Tribulietx can keep his employers happy is to bring in classy pivotal players who can help etch names on the silverware.
With budding talent still between the age of 12 to 18 at the club, he is adamant it is silly to risk them against experienced men.
"Good things take time.
"New Zealand Football are beginning to realise the way to coach is with passing skills."
The New Zealanders in the first year struggled with the concept of passing, but when he injected Spaniards in pivotal positions they had no choice but to adapt.
"So there's my influence as a coach, and players with the skills from Spain are in there, too, so the Kiwis are getting to know the game because they are seeing what happens on the field."
Last summer his Beefeaters, in particular, made costly errors passing in defence to concede goals but learned quickly how to negate such howlers.
In his tenure, Auckland City have negotiated deals for three talented young club players to foot it in the Olympic team in Australia to hone their skills.
"We train four times a week, so I have a lot of 17-year-olds excited, young and developing, and who come off the bench."
Auckland, he says, will pull out all stops against Hawke's Bay United tomorrow.
"Kiwitea Street has a narrow field so with the defensive type of game they [the Bay] play will mean it'll be very difficult to attack so we'll have to be at our best," says the coach of the O-League campaigners who have yet to lose a game this season in either competition.
His counterpart, Chris Greatholder, he believes has made some inroads since assuming the mantle of coach by moulding the Bay into a more compact unit.
Neither team will lack motivation, Tribulietx says, adding his troops are ambitious the second they run on to the pitch.
"Everyone knows what we're playing for. That's the way they are," he says.
