Parthib was an important member of the Indian U-20 squad in the recently held SAFF Championship. His excellent performance helped hosts India lift the trophy.
Here goes Parthib Gogoi ( No 10 ) scoring on sunday 2 goals for India against Nepal in the U20 SAFF.
Its a wise move by #EMAMI & #EastBengal to target this guy of Arrows. https://t.co/Nd5aiyaqin
Gogoi mainly plays as a right winger. But he can also play as the right midfielder. He is known on the Indian football circuit for his superb speed and dribbling qualities.
Gogoi's excellency at cutting inside from the wing makes him a threat to the opposition defense. He also switches his position very frequently in order to escape his marker. But to reach the height of his potential, he has to develop his passing.
